Well, it’s now 8 months since I finished SRT to the prostate bed and 4 months since I finished Bicalutamide. I’ve just had my latest PSA result which remains at less than 0.01. That’s a big relief because the plan to target the prostate bed was an educated guess. The F18 and MRI scans failed to show up any indications. The post RP histology showed up a positive margin so it was always pretty likely there were remnants in the prostate bed. However one of the lymph nodes removed also showed up positive, so there was also a possibility there could be mets further afield. Thankfully not it would seem.
As for side effects, the gynecomastia is no longer tender but I have a lingering hard lump under each nipple. My bowels are still rather loose which can be a nuisance at times. Somethings to mention to the Onco at the next appointment. I feel like I’ve finally come to the end of a very long chapter in my prostrate story or am I speaking too soon? Here’s hoping for a long sabbatical before any chapter 2.
