So it's been fifteen months since I was diagnosed and treatment began with the three monthly injections. I am to old for the operation and have had too many past health issues for radiotherapy.
I am however fortunate that my PSA has dropped to the level that the consultant is happy with. I do not have too many side effects and the hot sweats only seem to be more often a summer thing. My wife has had breast cancer diagnosed about the same time so we have been regular hospital attendees what with my wife's chemotherapy and radiotherapy. She has suffered far more than I have but has braved the effects of the chemotherapy and we have been there for each other.
I have though one issue that is, though not health wise, still a bit of a nuisance. My trousers keep falling down. Yes I am serious no matter how I tighten my belt they still fall down. At 78 everything about my body seemed to be going south anyway but
these injections have increased the process considerably. My wife in her infinite wisdom suggested that I super glue them to myself but I ignored her obvious advise at humour.
I thought that I had it figured out by purchasing a pair of bracers and in the winter when I wear a jumper over my T-shirt they work but in the summer it's a no go as they do not feel comfortable against the skin. Does anyone else have this problem.
