Macmillan are great at advice about diet and lifestyle with cancer. They run seminars as well as the usual leaflets etc.

Well worth getting in touch if they’re active locally.

I probably should start a new conversation but I not sure where this would be most relevant.

My husband has been prescribed antibiotics (ciprofloxacin) for possible prostatitis as he is feeling very uncomfortable. I called one of the lovely nurses here she said that his symptoms of feeling like he was sitting in a golf ball was a classic symptom.

My husband is now really worried that the antibiotics will interfere with his HT (Bicalutamide). He is due his first injection of goserelin and Leuprorelin on Wednesday after his PET scan on Tuesday.

The GP did reassure my husband that it would be ok but as it’s not his usual GP he is now really nervous of taking them.

Any info or reassurance would be really appreciated.

Thanks

Many men are on HT for life; if taking antibiotics with HT was a problem we would all be in a right pickle. Some men with advanced prostate cancer also need a prophylactic antibiotic either for long periods or permanently.

I wouldn't worry about when to start new threads. Sometimes, members start a new thread too frequently and it gets really hard to keep track of their details.
