Prostap to Degarelix

Thanks Lyn,

I find it good to write stuff down. It helps to find a perspective about everything, otherwise you are in a bubble on your own. Also helps to read what some other people are going through to understand sometimes how lucky I am !

I wrote a short story of my childhood for my counselor to read and i found it really therapeutic and helped me to balance up everything that happened to me. Made her laugh anyway 😄 but did lead onto many more questions....

Take care,

Phil

Thanks, Paul and Lynn. 

I wasn’t sure how low the PSA can get on HT alone...

Being back on 3 month checks feels better though.

Just a quick update : I have 116 days till my last Prostap injection and it can’t come soon enough. 81 days till I see my consultant again and 10 days till I see my counsellor again ......

Since just before the last HT injection I have been feeling very low. I just want to sob my heart out but I’m trying so hard not to. I know I’ve been lucky but try telling my head that. I can’t wait to see my counsellor again. This is so hard on my other half .

I don’t think the consultants understand what this stuff does to you mentally. I know I have to battle it out to give me a better survival chance but I hate it so much.

I know I have some childhood sh*t I have to deal with but I was ok with that before I had these damned injections (or I should say it was well hidden at the back of my mind ).

I understand not everyone suffers like this and don’t want to put anyone off the HT if they have to have it but do realise what it can do to you and be prepared .

Good luck to those suffering like this , I know there are some who have their dark days , and likely a good few who will say ‘count your blessings you’ve been given a chance’. Yep , I agree , won’t stop me counting down the bloody days though .....

Thanks for listening, just needed a rant 🙄
