Radar, I have been on Tamsulosin since September 2014 and take it after I have eaten in the evening. Originally I was getting up 10/12 times each night, not counting the one I have before going to bed and the one I have when I get up, I am down to five times now but for a short while about two months ago it was 2-3 times, alas that did not last.

I also had a TURP procedure to help with the flow but it didn't help all that much.

I am also on Solifenacin to help relax the bladder not sure if it is helping, I suppose the only way will be to stop taking them to see what difference there is.

The only thing that affects me with Zoladex at night is the hot flushes all the other side effects are loss of libido, tiredness and fatigue, very tearful and emotional and some muscle loss as have been on them since February 2015.

Hope that helps with your question.

thanks, does anyone stop drinking water at a certain time,i tried it once but it did not make much difference,getting up a lot is a pain,you get back into bed cant get back to sleep then when you think you are drifting off hot flushes start cant win,i am back to see oncologist on 15th of this month to get the results of my 1st psa test for a year and i will have been on ht 2yrs 4onths with 8months to go,i am disappearing with this zoladex,i could do with something to build me up like trt injections,but i know theres not much chance of that,but i have read elsewhere that people with advanced cancer have been given high doses of testesterone to shock the cancer cells and are doing well,anyone else seen that.

Hi radar
CNS and other 'experts' say circa not after 6 pm. Firstly in my case it makes no noticable difference to the number of night times visits and secondly they forget the idea of fighting cancer is to have a life even if that means peeing too often.

A few months back I cut out all tea, of whatever colour, which made a difference for awhile. Then I reverted back to my previous circa 5 times which suggests to me my body sees peeing circa 5 times a night as the norm now.

As regards testosterone you can always ask - don't get your hopes up though :-). My GP's stance is 'not off me', but then GP is convinced I still have PCa.

Hi radar, I had PSA 63 on diagnosis Gleason 4+3=7 T2 aggressive cancer confined to prostate and was offered HT and RT together and was told I am in the curable camp so that is curative treatment. I know if you just have HT that RT is a back up treatment if things start going in the wrong direction and also a prostectomy is still available whereas if you have RT it generally rules out a radical prostectomy in the future.

I have not heard of any statistics like that before, either from the specIalist or from anyone posting on this site but am sure if this is correct that someone will let us all know.

Keep us posted if you have confirmation of that please.
