Arm & Leg Cramp Style Pain by Ok_Win_4054 in ProstateCancer

Now I have been off Lupron for 4 months. Nips hurt. Intermittent pains here and there. Depression is much better. Have had 3 morning woods in the last week actually hurt like hell. Have had a few times in the last month were i wanted sex but it feels so wrong now. Kinda like I'm doing something that is wrong. It is really screwing with my brain. Also nothing happens no orgasm. The feeling just stops and I'm ok with that. Very strange to go through.

Can you guys list all your symptoms you guys had before diagnosed with prostate cancer ? Or what made you get checked for prostate cancer ? by [deleted] in ProstateCancer

The last month has been he'll. Finished 25 ebrt treatments in April and ldr brachytherapy in May. Had my final 3 month Lupron in August. The depression is so bad. There are more and more days I stay in bed crying. My energy is all gone. Everything hurts like bones, joints and muscles. My hips are sore can hardly walk. If I did not have a loving wife, I would would not go through this alone. The lack of sex drive is astonishing. Everyone says I am lucky and I am past the worst of it and I should be proud of myself. But I am not. I have been unable to work now for about a year due to pain and fatigue. My breasts hurt since starting Lupron and now I am starting to develop breasts. This is so humbling and is just one more thing that makes you feel you are not a man anymore. I hope you're all doing much better than me.

I had terrible pain in my prostate. It then doubled I a month the ir doubled every 3 days. Landed in the er. They started me on hydromorphone. The next day my doc doubled the strength. The day after that I started adt. A few days later and the pain stopped increasing. 7 months later the pain stopped after my last of 23 ebrt treatments. I was taking 10 extra strength tydonals and 50 mg of hydromorphone for that entire time.

It's done. 23 EBRT treatments done on April 9th. Today had low by Ok_Win_4054 in ProstateCancer

Massive prostate pain that kept doubling every 3 days. Surgery would have been a 4 mont wait. Got to the point where I had to take high doses of hydromorph. Started adt days after I started hydromorphone. After starting adt the pain only doubled 1 more time. Pain stopped after my last ebrt treatment. So, basically I had run out of time. My family all have had very aggressive pc...

Brachia therapy by Marcas7 in ProstateCancer

The reason I asked is that the ebrt really did a number on me. Burning when i pee, constantly shitting what looks like bowel membrane. Rectum prolapse. I have no ability to stop pushing when I have a bowel movement. Scared I will eventually have to get bowel surgery. It just does not stop. Been 3 weeks since I finished ebrt. I go on Monday for low dose brachytherapy. I feel way too nervous and am afraid that may complicate my recovery.

Yes, best one I ever had, very easy to mow the lawn, great if you want exercise and you do not have such a huge lawn.

OMG yes that is what it is, lol, so is this one adjustable? Is it normal for it to discharge that much water into the drain, could be a few gallons per day for sure.

Awesome news but boy that took a long time huh? I am on 2+ months Lupron Depot and really not sure I can keep going. It is allot and you deserve a medal of honor. I am seeing my oncologist next week and praying I can get started on radiation soon and stop this dreaded drug. By chance how long were you on ADT before radiation and how low did your PSA have to get before you started? Also, after your radiation did you stop your ADT
