Hi Survivor.
I'm a new member (this is my first post!). I too was diagnosed in (December) 2013. It was a great Christmas :(
I had mine removed in March 2014 and have been told I'm clear. I've got my next test next month and am still getting nervous about it!
Try not to be nervous keep having the PSA tests every 3months I know it's not nice but have faith Iam having some other problems but have been told it has nothing to do with the operation. Hope that you have the all clear again take care ken
Many thanks for all your help it is nice to know you are there in times of need. Once again many thanks ken
i was diagnosed back in 2000, had 37 treatments of radio therapy , all clear , after five year check . BUT BE AWARE , in 2010 i was rushed into emergency room for operation , , my small bowel had collapsed and was shutting off the blood supply , they removed 5 inches of my intestine , all healed now , damage of the bowel was put down as radiation prostitis, in other words caused by the radio therapy , also had damage to the lining of my bladder , " erosion of the walls " , due to radio therapy damage .all well now . but these are some of the things that can occur . as after effects . just for information .
