PSA of 45.7

All sounds positive,  I finished my radiotherapy about 7 weeks  ago , luckily no issues,  20 sessions soon passed    . My psa has dropped  from 30.4 to 0.054 .

I was too large for removal weighing it at 20st, hence radiotherapy path. The only issue was the amount of water prior to the treatment. 

I found a pint of water at night,  one as soon as I woke up and then one before I left for 09.00 rt session.  Still had to have an enema,  then 4 cups of water but I found if I needed  a pee before  treatment  I was fine. The only aftet effects  were fatigue.  It was explained to me, imagine  you are a battery,  use it in one go  done for the day or bits at a time  to last lo get.

Hope it helps good luck

I went to bham QE I think it's the old linex, I had seen a private consultant  about the spacer to protect the bowel but he said save the money. I met a lovely bunch of lads there intotal six of us formed a what's app group, all ages 75- 50, all different  psa readings etc. Some had side effects,  dioahrea, dribbling  etc but nothing  too bad, all suffering  from fatigue,  worse for agood 2 months after treatment,  but now improving. Everyone is now having post treatment psa readings .some are now 0.02 undetectable. 

I agree a Pitstone is needed afterwards,  the only advice I can give is just drink plenty  of water threw out the day. I think post treatment I was going out and could ladt a good few hours. Only get up once a night now for a pee, same with the other lads.

Prostrate  cancer UK do a urgent toilet pass card, which shops and restaurants  accept , great safety  net. ( free)

I do believe  a posatitive our luck is needed...

Lastly I've lost a lot of strength  but it's comming back slowly,  I still have 18 months of HT to do.

Hope it helps please ask as much as you like good luck

It's not an issue. I never really  got into all the technical names and bits, etc  some people  do, once i knew i wasn't  going  to be pushing  up the daisys, i just accepted it. I do believe  staying positive is the best thing , the only other thing is do not worry  about feeling tired an not being 100% socialable,  your true friends will understand.  It just takes time, to adjust to nor be9ng able to do what you use to, but post treatment you will start yo get your strength  back.

Keep me updated on  your progress,  you will be fine I'm sure 

Here's a short video by Dr Scholz in which he seems to dismiss PNI as having virtually no prognostic significance one way or the other, once you have taken factors like Gleason score and PSA into account.
