I am a gay man of 68 had prostate cancer 5 years ago

Are you still in treatment? I finished at the end of October: five sessions of SBRT and six months of ADT. I'm a bit nervous because my first post-ADT PSA test is today and I get the results on Thursday. I also have to talk to the doctor because, after four months of ADT, I started to get hip pain which I never had before and it has not gone away. I'm 60 BTW. I hope radiation/ADT has not damaged my pelvic bones but we'll see.
It's very frustrating sometimes, but I see a therapist, am in a support group, take an antidepressant and use this message board a lot.

No , but I am the watch list, i have to go every 3 month s for tests, psa 0.13 They want it < 0.1 it is what it is. Take you time, I did not do radiation for year after surgery. The long-term effects seem to be different. When I have orgasam, urine shoots out not fun. Still feel s good but a bit messy. That is my only complaint. But I am lucky to still be here. It seems we can live longer with this. I try to take it one day at a time. Good luck on your path.
