HT/Prostap does have one advantage. If you had a non-nerve sparing operation and have total ED then at least taking prostap your libido goes as well so you don't miss not being able to have sex - not much compensation for your partner though.

Hi Everyone,

Just had telephone appointment with my oncologist - PSA now down to 0.09, all other blood tests ok.

Next appointment in 3 months.     I must admit, in my case, appointment over the phone works for me.

Arthur.

Great news , I have phone conversations with my onco nurse and probably get a longer conversation than face to face, also saves me a £4 car park charge. 

Thanks Chris

Great news Arthur. I have my May Onco via telephone and a district nurse is coming to take all my bloods next week. I’m hoping psa isn’t like 800 :-// but I reckon it will be. Take care

That's brilliant, Arthur.

Wish I could get a result like that.

Take care and look after yourself.

Excellent result. My position is not identical to yours but similar. Recurrence in 3 lymph nodes treated with SABR radiotherapy and 2 years on bicalutamide.

I know it might not be healthy to focus too rigorously on one's PSA scores but a good one is a real boost.

Good news Arthur. HT holiday sometime in the future looks possible, hope so. When in Skeg I had over the phone appointments, well pleased with them.

Hi All,

Phone call from oncologist yesterday, PSA now 0.05 all other blood tests ok.  Next appointment in 4 months not the usual 3.

Things didn’t look good in January 2013 (see my profile) I hope this is an encouragement to you all.

That is good news. I have just read your bio, that is quite a journey you have been on, lots of ups and downs. Hope you get a lot more ups.

Thanks Chris
