Prostap 3

Looking back, you were T3N0M0 G4+5, which is a high risk diagnosis. It would be interesting to know what your PSA is now, but your PSA wasn't very high to start with, so that might not be a useful indication.

I think the thing to do would be to ask your oncologist what your chance of a cure is with 18 months HT versus 36 month HT.

What is important is to be having regular erections to preserve function. If you can't do that naturally, you should be doing it using Tadalafil and/or a pump, whatever works for you.

I'm sorry to tell you that from personal experience, stopping the HT doesn't magically make the weight fall off. Libido comes back when your Testosterone returns, which happens quite suddenly somewhere between 6-15 months after the last injection runs out.

If your appointment is more than 3 months since your last PSA test, I would try to get a PSA test beforehand so you have the result at the consultation. The PSA level may factor in to the recommendation to continue on HT or not. You could ask your CNS or GP for a blood test form and get it done in plenty of time for the appointment (like 2 weeks before).

You've got a fair few things to ask at the consultation. Write the questions down now (and any more as you think of them), and then go through them on the call. If you would prefer a face-to-face consultation, ask. Most hospitals are doing these now, but they are often not the default unless you ask.
