The effects of my final Prostap hormone injection in July should have started to wane but I have not really noticed any difference so far with hot flushes still quite frequent. The good news is that my PSA is still undetectable. I am, however, very concerned about really stiff and aching back and hips which are preventing me from walking any great distance. Have reported to my GP and Velindre and have had an Xray carried out and am awaiting the results. The weight gain associated with the hormone treatment is still very much in evidence and that might be a contributory factor of course. I am still managing to do a lot of swimming but a severe diet will be needed after Xmas. It is an anxious wait for the Xray results.
