Good to hear.

Do you know if your Testosterone is back yet? It sounds like you did 3 years, so it might not be yet. It can be useful to ask for Testosterone to be added to PSA tests until your Testosterone is back to a stable level, and also because it's expected to cause your PSA to rise, but that should settle at a stable level a little time later.

Great to hear you're nearly back to normal gaz. Much as it feels like life will never be the same, HT ends and the curse gradually lifts.

Nice one Gaz, fingers xd that's the end of the treatment.... 1 more HT injection in October for me to complete the 3 years on it... Unbelievable as it's all gone so quick since the diagnosis back in 2020. Good Luck mate!

Great news Gaz. I'm five years post treatment PSA <0.1 though it popped up to 0.2 and then back down. Six monthly PSA checks for me too.

True really will never be the same again but it could be worse I feel for those still suffering this horrible desease it definitely changes you

I know you been at work through this gaz, so I hope you've been able to get away for a holiday somewhere. Working while dealing with PCa is not something I would have managed at all well.

As a 76 year old I'm not as worried by declining erectile function as some of our younger members [sorry, couldn't think of another word] might be and really, none of us are 16 any more so regardless of cancer we're not quite the studs we used to be, especially when it comes to endurance, so yes, we're changed but most of the time, so are our partners/wives. 

Surviving is something of a victory for us and maybe the experience makes us stronger?

Hi Gaz,

This has got me thinking ….I hope you don’t mind but I’ve borrowed this quote  for another post ‘How has PCa changed you?
