My meeting with my consultant has been cancelled and has been re-scheduled to 17th January 2019. My psa test that was taken 31st October 2018, was again undetectable or less than 0.001. So I think I may be on yearly monitoring from now on.

@hammy1946 There is help out there in regards to regaining your sex life. Have you had radiotherapy? My husband and I have had help from our Macmillan nurse which has been successful.

@katlin if your husband is able to do any form of exercise I would advise it, I have been referred through the GP for a rehab type of programme with a Doctor present, doing the light exercises helps to strenghen my weakened muscles, it is also nice to mix with others and gives my wife some restpite. The hormone injections can cause mood swings and we decribe it as my PMT , it does get easier and he will learn to tolerate it as time goes on, it seems to peak just before the injection and just afterwards. I have purchased a hand held fan which is re chargeable which really helps with the hot flushes. I cant give advice on anything chemo related as I haven't had chemo. if I can be of help with anything else, let me know.

@kingpaul thank you for your help and getting back to me my husband had chemotherapy about 5 years ago so this is his second time he came of the injections for 2 years and has been really well still working until the shock of the cancer returning he always knew it would but not this quick and has been given a 10year life span he's only 59 so each day is hard all I keep praying is something new is found for this wicked decease
