It's been a while since I updated our journey, it's been a tale of two halves really, first part of the year was pretty awful pain wise then RT and pain all gone and PSA dropped like a stone, but of course these things don't last in our situation and it has been steadily rising (not big numbers yet but concerning all the same). Well we'll find out on Monday at the oncology appointment exactly what's happening on that front. We do believe that it will have continued to rise as the symptoms of pain have been coming back. Anyway we don't know yet so no point in worrying about it.
Urology problems have been the main issue to deal with and we are back under the urologist for that. The usual stuff really, severe urgency with accidents, pain, bladder not emptying etc. We saw the urologist this morning and another bladder scan has been ordered urgently (that means 10th Dec of course). This is causing issues with being able to go out, which is a bit demoralising.
Second order (I suppose) is the cancer, constant pain is being felt in the side and back ribs and spine, who knows what's causing it but I guess the PSA rise will give the Onco and us, some clues. The most difficult thing is severe breathlessness, probably caused by anaemia, blood count is 10.8" not too serious but it's dropping and that's a concern.
So generally, we are a bit worried but presumably Momday will reveal more.
