Diagnosed with PC in 2014 53 years old. Chose RP after several discussions with drs at Mayo. Check ups on 6 month intervals. 2020 PSA numbers started showing after being undetectable. .14, .32,.39 the 39 daily treatments radiation to get that stopped. Was on a testosterone therapy drug for 3 months thru this…. Terrible.
Numbers were once again undetectable… until cancer numbers started to slowly rise again 3 yrs later. Then all hell broke loose. Bladderneck bleed n clotting, ER rooms and a surgery to cauterize the area. On and off catheters and incontinance in between.
Tried 68 HBOT prior to another surgery in October ‘24 to try to repair the bladder neck/ fistula with an Omental flap procedure Not successful. Terrible 3- 4 months following with catheter in place. Decided cystectomy was last chance. Waited 3 months for appointment Finally relief of badder/ urethra pain. Now learning to deal with infection in pelvic bone with 4 antibiotics and being a member of the urostomy family, and a slowly rising PSA ….again.
