Hello Roy, sorry to hear about your diagnosis.  I think that you should contact your GP.  I know that you probably don't want to be thought of as a 'nuisance' but this is your health and your life at stake here, and sometimes we need to be a bit forthright, even with our doctors.  Good luck.  

I am now on Hormone injections and PSA is now down to 0.03, but have noticed redently that my testicles are goin black and have many black spot.

Would that be due to the hormone therapy?

Hi Devonroy and thank you for your post.

I am sorry to learn that you have symptoms that are causing you concern.

You may find information regarding the potential side effects of hormone therapy on the Prostate Cancer UK website.

We acknowledge that hormone therapy can lead to a reduction in the size of the penis and testicles; however, there is no documentation indicating any changes in colour.

We would always advise anyone on treatment who is concerned about any new symptoms to contact their hospital specialist or GP.

This is most probably nothing to worry about but it is always best to get it checked.

You may be interested in joining a support group called Tackle.

It is a patient led charity for men with prostate cancer. There are groups up and down the country or you can start your own. It can help to talk to other men who have gone through similar treatments. You may find that they have tips on how they cope with similar side effects.

I really hope you know more soon and that everything will be okay for you.

Kind regards

Tina
