Nick, you could try the pelvic radiation disease association , www.prda.org.uk. There is a link to their Facebook site on there.

They did point me in the right direction with my radiation cystitis.

Thanks Chris

Its been a while so ....

Last 2 blood tests - PSA undetectable ...... One more Prostrap 3 injection to go in October to complete my 3 years of HT .....

Sucralfate Enema's ....... at a high level its basically 'self service' with a syringe (and a funnel) you make up of 10ml Sucralfate and 20ml water ... you are then supposed to lie in 4 different positions (for 5 mins each) whilst retaining the liquid in the rectum ..... not easy (I've dropped the water content down a bit ); It was a bit of a challenge at first but after a few adjustments I'm managing OK(ish). Things have improved a bit but still getting the odd bowel movement with a lot of blood....however, will continue to persevere!

Had final Prostrap 3 injection yesterday...nigh on 3 years gone just like that... Wow....the last 12 to 18 months has been pretty tolerable bar a quite intense period of hot flushes, definitely not so many random aches and pains though.

Had a 6 monthly review with my marvellous CNS last week... PSA Untraceable... Haemoglobin continues to hover around 114...bit low! Due to the ongoing rectal bleeding...

.... Discussed next steps w/rgd to the bleeding as sucralfate not showing much benefit, she recommended trying the formalin treatment so being referred.

Next blood test March 24, next CNS review April 24.

Best of Luck to all!!

Yes time does fly when you're enjoying yourself. It took me nearly a year to recover testosterone after my last injection. I'm glad your PSA tests have been good so far.

Cheers Dave, might treat myself to a Deuchars ale tonight 🍺 Love reading your posts, many thanks for taking the time! 👏

 

Ps if anyone has experience of Formalin treatment would love to hear your thoughts... I've also asked via the PRDA website but nothing back yet... Thanks.
