Hi
i had a prostatectomy in August 2019. First 2 PSA tests after that were undetectable. After 18 months it was 0.04, followed by 0.08, then 0.12 and now 0.21.
I am that 1 in 50 with long term incontinence after the op. I am now being offered radio therapy as the assumption is cells in the prostate bed. My oncologist reminded me again today that side effects will likely be, a worsening of the incontinence, with more frequency and urgency, and loose bowels with 1 in 20 having long term problems.
Has anyone experienced this, as I have come to live with the incontinence, but don’t like the odds for the bowel problem
