Very interesting FOPS meeting last night (Many Thanks Andy62!!) Much more food for thought.....maybe think more about the RP option... I'm in the 50/50 camp RP vs RT now..... :)

Hi all - quick update; from my PSA Test taken on 9th Feb .... my reading is down to 0.26 (from 4.3 - last PSA prior to HT start) ..... I think that's pretty good given I only started HT on 2nd Dec. Thanks again for all the updates in this convo to date, extremely useful and much appreciated !

Cheers,

Nick

Good result Nick. Is the HT giving you any problems? I didn't have many side effects.

Hi Dave - HT side effects to date (post 28 day bical tablets, 1 1 month Prostrap injection, 1 3 month Prostrap injection) :

Well publicised 'downstairs' changes! :)

Hot Flushes - pretty regular but tends to be 1 a day when they occur and they don't generally last long (more often at night)

Can't lift anything heavy for more than 20 secs without shoulder pain etc

A few general aches and pains in different places (they might just be old age!)

One thing I forgot, occasional itchy eyes, not had before so assume it's the HT? 

Other than that, nothing further untoward to date thankfully!

I'm trying to do as much walking as possible (minimum of 10-15 miles a week) to keep reasonably fit.

Thanks for posting and hope you are feeling good, no issues? :)

Cheers, Nick
