It's now been exactly 5 months since the implants and they're down to around 1/6 th of their original strength.
Any fatigue effect seems to have dissipated entirely by now but i'm finding that i'm needing to get up more often at night now ,and still have a little burning on urination.
The strange thing is that,when i get up for a leak at night nowadays,i seem unable to void my bladder on the 1st attempt and need to go back 5 minutes later,at which point it seems that i'm then able to do so,thus ensuring a gap of say 3 to 4 hours till the next visit.
It's a bit of a "ballache" and requires that i manage my nighttime drinking (especially of alcohol),but i've been a bit naughty in that i'm having 2 cups of strooong coffee each morning,and have started to drink a bit of wine at nights.
Strictly speaking i should still not be drinking these things at all until the effect of what is obviously radiation burn have healed totally.
At my last visit to my oncologist she indicated that these side effects should begin subsiding from month 6 or so and eventually revert to normal after a year or more.
As i've mentioned before........not a big deal as my day time urination habits are pretty much normal and hardly bothering me at all presently. I've still managed to stay off the FLOMAX and similar meds and am well pleased on that count as they have horrible side effects.
All in all i'm very happy so far and should be seeing my urologist next month for my 6 month visit .Only my second consultation since the procedure.
Looking forward to seeing what my PSA has gone to before that visit?
