My weekly dose of drugs, used to keep me alive. The main change recently has been from Dihydrocodeine to Tramadol.
Not shown in this very fine picture are the four Dexamethazone steroids that I take each morning. They arrive separate to my weekly delivery from my chemist.

My very fine NHS toilet frame / elevated seat. This is to stop my hip bones being on a lower plain than my knees whilst sitting on the pot. This should slow down the parting of my left hip from my pelvis. EEK!! This device was supplied free by Bon Accord Care, Aberdeen. Also supplied free by Bon Accord Care were: a device that helps me to put on my socks. a grabber device to help me pick up things, two 4" thick foam cushions for propping up my sofa base cushions and a table on casters to go with my NHS bed. Lewis & Kyle have christened this device; Grampa's poo chair.
This is an example of two potential biopsy reports. One is favorable pathology (less aggressive) the other less favorable (more aggressive). Know the specifics of your biopys. If your urologist did not go over your biopsy report...ask him or get a copy of the report. You need to know.
ARI today (26th April 2018) to see what work was entailed with Friday 13th operation. There was approx. four x-rays taken today. I was allowed a screen capture of one of them. The vertical rod goes all the way down to my left knee, where it's secured by two screws. I have to return in eight weeks time for more checks. Happy days.

Much like the prostatic urethra, the nerves responsible for erections take a hit regardless of the treatment chosen. With surgery they are either cut (this results in non recoverable impotence) or bruised ( which can result in partial or full recovery of erectile function). With radiation the nerves are damaged by the effect of the radiation and usually results in a slow deterioration over a period of time to an unknown level of function. In both situations, the pre treatment function of the male will in large part determine the level of function after the treatment. (The better the pre treatment erectile function, the better the post treatment level of function.)

I drew a picture for my wife of my path report to allay any fears she might have about my health...to show her my cancer was "favorable." (Please see next illustration.)
Almost a year ago. The consultant told me that my PSA had gone down, from 6.7 to 5.9. I was cock a hoop, certain that I could safely follow active surveillance. Later my goal became to last out 2011 without recourse to radical treatment. I didn't quite manage it. Hormonetherapy started in November 2011, with radiotherapy beginning in March 2012.

My nurse put the "unsmiley" face on my PSA report that was not only elevated but had a low Free Psa. What will do it for you?
It is imperative that the newly diagnosed prostate cancer patient consider his home life, work and health as a very integral part of the well thought out decision.
The reason the prostate cancer decision making process is so hard for the male is that there are so many viable options. All of the options have to some degree an negative influence on how the male voids and his erectile function. Added to this is the variance and concerns about which treatment both cures the disease and limits the side effects. And that my friend...is the rub.

A male voids through the prostatic urethra. Around this tube 80-100 radioactive seeds are placed to treat the prostate cancer. Is it any wonder that one might have some symptoms of irritation to void after this procedure. The severity and duration of which one will not know...untill you have it done. You can limit this if pre treatment you assure you have no obstructive voiding symptoms. Do you know about your prostatic urethra?

My best friend, a doctor, was diagnosed with prostate cancer and was amazed how complicated the decision was. Myths, health, complications, the different kinds all make the decision very hard...and the results so unpredictable.
