Hi All
69 year diagnosed initially via Galleri trial back in April 2022. No symptoms, was tested a few years earlier as older brother had PC, but I was deemed to be OK. Then the bombshell 2 years ago followed by the usual tests/biopsies resulting in a full Prostatectomy in March 2023. Op went well - I was told - and then later PSA showed a rise and a further Petscan last Autumn showed a 'low-level' spread to various sites including some lymph nodes, pelvic bed etc. Gleason score has always been high 4+5 so not good. Oncologist put me on Hormone Therapy late last year so for 6 months I have been taking combination of Zoladex implants and daily Apalutamide tablets. I was told originally by my urologist that hormone therapy loses its effectiveness within 2 years so would be interested in anyone who is undergoing a similar path/ timeframe. Bizarrely I have very good bladder control and only medium side effects of fatigue and hot flushes but nothing which is adversely affecting day-to-day-life.
Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks
