It is a recognised 'thing' Gaz. Adrenalin (fight or flight) gets you through the diagnosis and treatment stages and then, once the active treatment is done and dusted, your brain goes "What the hell just happened?" Some people experience low mood or anger, others feel abandoned or extreme anxiety (what if it comes back fear). Macmillan has a really good info leaflet on it.

I mentioned at work my first symptoms and my treatment path      2 guys asked for a PSA test both had a high PSA and are awaiting biopsies I know it's worrying but but hopefully both will get sorted we need to get the word out 🤔

gaz, aside from your psa reading, which couldn't be better, how are you going with your health in other ways, such as weight and fitness?

Once you're past the limitations imposed on you by RT it helps to work on getting your body back in order, even when you're taking meds like Triptorelin.

It is a known phenomenon Gaz - something like an aftershock. Adrenalin gets you through diagnosis, treatment choosing, surviving treatment, recovery and then the fist couple of blood tests. Then all of a sudden, the adrenalin deserts you and you are left with a 'hit by a bus' moment and for some men, the 5 stages of grief. Hoping tomorrow is a better day for you.

Well one of the wonderful things about a forum like this is that there is nearly always someone who has been in the hole before you and can tell you where the ladder is!

Hopefully everyone is doing well as anyone had trouble with hemaroids after radiotherapy seem to be ongoing since end off treatment docs clear them up only for them to return 😬
