Hi
I had my last (for the time being anyway) prostap injection yesterday. I have been having it for the past 2 years as an adjuvant to radiotherapy as part of the radicals trial. Assuming the PSA doesn't start to rise significantly any time soon I hope to be off the stuff for at least a few years.
So the question is what happens as your testosterone returns?
I will be watching to see if my muscles grow back a bit and whether my testicles grow again (they are little more than baked bean size at the moment!). Maybe my libido will come back too?
Another thing I will be looking out for is whether my blood sugar levels will drop (I was diagnosed diabetic about 7-8 months after starting ADT), that was a blessing in disguise as in getting my blood glucose back down to sensible levels I lost nearly twice as much weight as I had put on after starting ADT, (Metformin and diet changes - I refused the Gliclazide as I did not fancy a hypo while driving). I think that helped with not having grown moobs, but maybe contributed to the muscle loss
Of course, I will also be watching the PSA!
Thanks
Andy
