colly0410 1,181 Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Thanks Catfan... I get this knot in my stomach when my imagination goes into overdrive, but then I think "I can't do owt about it, so I've just got to let the doctors do what they have to do." I'd like to thank you & everyone who's commented for their moral support.... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,894 Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Colly don't worry about falling asleep , it happens to us all and I notice it more now than a few months ago. Radiology does make you tired, I remember when I had it the patients would talk between themselves about how tired they got. I used to think its not happening to me , is something wrong then it got me and I joined the ranks. It does pass but I've had no experience with hormone tabs. All the best. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,894 Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 While on this topic, Ive had a painful few days. For some time now I've had a niggly feeling in my teeth and gums. Nothing to say it was toothache or infection but finally went to my brother in law who's a dentist. It was an infection caused by a capped tooth. Anyway partly solved but still needs more treatment next week. Then my oncologist rang to give me an appointment ( with results of my latest exams) this afternoon. Again yesterday the Dr from CTO in Turin where i had my op 2019. He asked me a few questions about how I found myself now and if I had any pain etc. I should have gone last year for a checkup but with lockdown I didnt go. Now he wants me to go for a chat and have another MRI. I did think all my health issues were solved but we'll see how many more they give me. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
colly0410 1,181 Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 Well had my first injection of tryptorelin on Monday & that'll last for 3 months & should shrink the tumour, gave me a sore bum but needs must... Been to see oncologist this morning & I should be having radiotherapy in about 3 months time. He said after the tryptorelin has shrunk the tumour he'll blast the prostate, seminal vesicle's & nearby lymph node's with radiation & hopefully that should be that. He said the wee-wee problems should hopefully resolve after the tryptorelin injections & radiotherapy have shrunk/ bopped off the tumour, but if they don't I'll need a TURP operation... Feeling a bit calmer now & the knot in my stomach has almost gone... 7 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nonnaB 4,894 Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 Colly, it certainly sounds as though theyve got you covered. I'm glad you're feeling better and that anxiety has calmed down. When youre up a gum tree and don't know whats happening its normal for your mind to go into 5th gear. I'm still waiting to hear my diagnosis. Oncologist had a meeting with radiologist last Monday to show him all my reports and hopefully find out exactly what this mark, shadow or scarring is because they just dont know. He rang me on Wednesday and told me that the radiologist couldnt distinguish what it was because the image wasnt clear. So now they have to get in touch with the private clinic where I had the scan to ask them to compare this with the last one I had 3 months ago. This should have been done at the time but wasnt. So now waiting again and hoping I dont have to do another CT scan because June 12 I have to have an MRI on my back. I'm so fed up of medical issues this year. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
