Thanks, Lyn. You know more about this stuff than I do. Do you think 1.4 is a decent nadir reading for someone who hasn’t been on injected HT?

Thanks,

Chris

I had a telephone consultation with my oncologist this afternoon and he’s officially “signed me off”. Assuming things continue on track, I won’t be seeing him again - from now on it’ll be six-monthly PSA tests and a chat with a nurse on the phone.

So that’s another milestone in my treatment reached. It’s almost exactly two years to the day since my diagnosis and I feel that, for now at least, I can put it behind me.

Cheers,

Chris

Finger up the backside day again today 😀. Noticed a few spots of blood on the TP recently, so I thought it was best to get it checked out. I'd assumed it would likely be radiation cystitis, but it turns out I've got piles (or a pile, anyway)! GP says it should go away on its own.

Such is life!

Another character building procedure 👀

Ive had haemorrhoids for a few years and had it all checked out. Increasing intake of veg and legumes usually sorts it. BBQ season doesn’t help unless I ensure it’s balanced with green stuff 🥴🤷🏼‍♂️

Thanks, that's very helpful advice. A new experience for me 🙂.

When I look back at how stressed I was when I had my first DRE during diagnosis I have to smile at the memory. These days I don't bat an eyelid at the process. You can get used to anything with time!

Cheers,

Chris

Cycling every day now to improve my fitness and try to shift some of the considerable amount of weight I gained during my 18 months on HT. One thing that strenuous cycling in hot weather has taught me is that I definitely need to start using deodorant again 😁. That's one aspect of HT which has definitely reversed now!

Interesting Chris. I find despite deodorant I am noticing it isn’t always working! I have also put that down to HT ending.
