bladder neck invasion. Can it be radiated?
My husband had
radical
prostatectomy
last week and the pathology report came back with “bladder neck invasion present”, in” right mid and superior posterior and left and right bladder neck”. I’m wondering is it possible to radiate that area after he heals from surgery?

1, 3 or 6 month ADT?
Originally, after a prostatectomy and 40 radiation treatments, I had a one month shot of Lupron followed by a six month shot of Lupron. My PSA went to undetectable. Seven years later my PSA crept up to seven and I was put on a monthly shot of Firmagon for life. My PSA is again undetectable and all scans

Decided to have a robot assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy - update
Reasons for my decision: I made a decision based on my understanding, see below. Radiation - no effect on urinary leakage, sexual function initially preserved but wanes for most, limited options for salvage - if cancer recurs treatment is palliative/non curative, long term radiation damage to bladder

At a loss
I was prescribed Ropinirole .25 mg I took that for 4 days and could not handle the side effects. Day 4 was terrible. After reading the posts, it seems as if I am screwed if I don't take any medication for it so I guess I will just have to live with this condition drug free. I was never a pill popper

QOL gone
Prostatectomy followed 8 months later with ADT and radiation. Mostly incontinent since. Always had overactive bladder before cancer. Urologist did cystoscope and said everything looked normal. Its been > 2 weeks and I am in constant misery. Bladder hurts and have strong feeling of needing to urinate

Timings of medications, help please.
Can anyone help me with the timings for the following medications which I need to take each day apart from the Risedronate once a week, please? I have spoken to the pharmacy and they were not particularly helpful. Levothyroxine and Risedronate both have to be taken on an empty stomach I believe. Not

Medical Cannabis?
Has anyone tried medical cannabis for pain relief? I have severe arthritis which limits my life quite a lot, my doctor won’t refer me for knee replacement until I lose more weight, and being on Rux has meant more weight gain! Obviously will need to ask haematologist about. It is quite expensive and

Buprenorphine update - one week in
Well, I’ve been taking Buprenorphine for a week now, and I can barely believe it. I have had [u]zero[/u] RLS! My IRLSS has gone from the high 30s to 0. Absolutely no symptoms at all. I have spent my nights in bed like a normal person. The relief is unbelievable. On the first night I took one 0.2mg
