Great news with your PSA Gaz πŸ‘πŸ½ hope they can get you sorted out though so you’re feeling better. And hopefully not on HT for too much longer and you will start to feel a bit back to normal x

It's as much a mental battle as a physical one isn't it Gaz? Overall though, knowing that your psa is staying low is always great news.

You and I are running neck and neck together being Gleason 9 and about a year post HT. Let's hope a low psa will get us off ADT a little earlier.

One year on psa 0.01 last week but still have occasional urine tinged with blood  is this normal or do I need to contact uncology thanks gaz πŸ‘

Gaz, based on your previous posts get that blood checked out. What may be normal for one person may be abnormal for you. 

My symptoms were alot worse but salvage RT has done severe damage to my bladder, had it been diagnosed earlier things may have turned out differently. My level of damage only occurs in around 5 percent of RT patients.

Thanks Chris

My last HT was Feb 2020. So that ran out in May 2020. Nothing much happened for many months. In fact it was Christmas Day 2020 when I first woke up with a hard on. Thank you Santa.

BTW starting a thread is hard. Main problem is failing to choose a topic area.
