Welcome to Cancer Chat, Oink.

I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis and the waiting you're enduring. It’s good to hear that your doctor is monitoring your progress closely, though. 

While I can’t provide medical advice, discussing your concerns and potential treatment options with your medical team is important as they can give you the best information tailored to your situation. For more information about prostate cancer, you might find our website helpful.

Many of our Cancer Chat members here will understand what you are going through at the moment and I hope that some of them will come along shortly to talk with you, as chatting with those who can relate does seem to help. If you find yourself too bothered though and feel like asking someone with a medical background some questions, feel free to ring our team of nurses. They're available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on this freephone 0808 800 4040

Take care and keep us updated on how you're doing.

Best wishes,

Renata, Cancer Chat Moderator

Hi,

You’ve probably seen it, but there’s a list of possible treatments at https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/prostate-cancer/treatment

You and your medical team are the only people with all the relevant information to be able to decide. Remember, it will be you who decides what your treatment plan should include. 

Good luck,
Dave

Thank you ...while you're here ..this hormone and hit sweats at night really keeping me awake any advice on that ??

I wish I did - nothing short of investing in an electric fan or airconditioning I’m afraid.  

Hi Oink,

I've been on HT for nearly two years, 50mg Androcur will help with the sweats.

My system got used to the slow release 6 monthly Prostrap injections but in October they started me on Aberaterone Acetate 1000mg, sweats came back again, so back on the Androcur.

I still sweat at night a bit, but nothing like the prickly flushes I had at the beginning, keep windows open if you can and have a cool room.

Best of luck with your treatment.

Justin.

Thank you ..and all the best to you .

Cheers mate .all the best ..
