Finished 28 Proton Therapies

Posted by saxman911 @saxman911, Nov 12, 2023

Notice that ejaculation was very painful but after 3 weeks every thing started to flow - prostate discomfort faded again-maybe I got lucky. Getting my 1st PSA ON Dec 11th 2023
I only had 1 core with a Gleason 7 - my doctors told me prior to treatment most likely I nipped it in the bud.

I am not a doctor. “Not think a spacer is necesssary” is a strange comment. Why do they say that? Even the world’s best can make a mistake and rectal bleeding or damage is not something you recover from easily or sometimes at all. Not good either. A spacer seems to me to be essential. If they have a better answer than ‘not necessary’ I’d love to hear it.

All I know is my PSA went to its lowest 1.12 on my 18 month check and I
have lost nothing sexually so I'm very pleased and she is also very pleased.

Please *reply* to any of my E-mails sent that it was *read and received.*

*Thank you,*

Maybe I misunderstand. If you have already had treatment, there wouldn’t any reason to do so. If, however, radiation is planned, then a spacer would be required unless there is absolutely a clear answer to why not.

Congrats on having reduced your PSA to such low levels. Are you doing ADT?
