I had a third on Friday and I feel like shit .. Now, buddy, I know how it will be.

I will find out next week if it worked,my psa went from 25 to 41,

[Bedrich]

My doctor says PSA is not important at this time. Scan is important.

Thank you your treatment is similar to mine,are you in the US?

[Bedrich in reply to Mathes72]

Not my treatment is in the Czech Republic. I think it is almost no difference in treatment.

Thanks,I took prednisone, thanks,I think that was part of my problem,I stoped for a couple of weeks,mo put me back on 5 mg a told me to taper down over three weeks,I am starting to feel better

Are you taking prednisone? It will help with aches, if not take an anti inflammatory. These treatments are usually cumulative. Get your rest!

[Bedrich in reply to Hidden]

I also take Prednisone 10mg daily. It's even worse if you don't take Prednison ... or forget.
