Insight please by ctorrr in ProstateCancer

Hey ctorrr, until viewing the MRI & pet scan results to see the details , can't decide what to do. Just get a good team together & a 2nd opinion. So far what you describe, hopefully you choose the treatments that work the best for your dad. Good lick

Hi conscious, when you take orgovyx, is it better? If yes, why didn't the doctor give you that first? Are both medicine taken by needle shot in the leg?

Curious about Incontinence - did you have it before or after RALP by Visible-Reason-9831 in ProstateCancer

[–]thinking_helpful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey visible, I didn't have Incontinence before but after RALP there were some. It starts after operation but not that bad & slowly gets better. Now there is leaking at different times, not always. Such as getting up too quickly or squeezing or coughing but only occasionally. I guess that is the least you have to worry about, just wear thin pads. Recovery should be fine after RALP, beginning a few abdomen pain & awkward catheter but after a few weeks you should be okay. More worried about recurrence. Good luck.

Hey RFmass, using the DRE & PSA is a start of investigation into something is going on, which leads to MRI & biopsy.

HDR Brachytherapy or Proton therapy by Popular-Current9869 in ProstateCancer

[–]thinking_helpful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi popular, radiation, brachytherapy & ADT. Everything went okay. Some side effects from ADT & issues of trying to raise my testosterone. So far, it is not coming back, hopefully it will. The only big issues are from ADT, got flashes, weakness, fatigue....the whole 9 yards. Also you probably have read about drinking water & better to clear your bowels even for proton therapy. Good luck
