Firmagon Injection gone bad!
Husband got his first hormone injection yesterday to begin treatment which will include 45 Radiation Therapy sessions. He got the first shot, everything seemed ok, got the second shot and BP dropped like a rock. Could not wake him up. They called 911 took him to the hospital. He is home and doing OK

A New Direction
After seven years of fighting this disease with chemo, radiation, ADT, and abiraterone, I suffer from fatigue, nerve damage and paralysis and nerve pain in my left foot from radiation treatment, as well as depression, and a constant feeling of uncertainty. However, I am now free to let go of the life

Rising PSA...again..
In December 2017 I was diagnosed with prostate cancer after a biopsy. I ignored the symptoms for many years and it cost me. In February 2018 I had surgery to remove my prostate hoping that would cure me, PSA never went to 0. By December 2019 I was alarmed enough to start ADT with Elegard and in February

Recent diagnosis
I have been advised to have a radical prostatectomy and am going in this direction, given my age, the possibility of having
radiotherapy
if I need it in the future and that it should hopefully be a cure. I am concerned about ED and incontinence and have already started Kegel exercises.

am I doing the right thing?
I was also told in a letter that I could have
radiotherapy
as an alternative with a possible cure of 70%. The latter is what I’m opting for rather than surgery. Any advice would be much appreciated. I have an appointment with the oncologist in a few days. Thank you.
