Related: About this forumQuick update on my PCa.
I have learned that PCa is shorthand for...you know.
Bone scan clear!
YAY!
Pelvic MRI shows three 'suspicious' areas in prostate, (I think).
This is from a translation of the report by a close friend who is a retired doctor, but not an oncologist.
I have a meeting with my urologist tomorrow (who detected the cancer).
I keep y'all updated.
Peace

(54,256 posts)22.5 mg Trelstar.
It's a testosterone inhibitor.
Doc says side effects may be similar to menopause.
Hot flashes, mood swings, etc.
Nothing so far except an urge to go shopping and get a pedicure.
Have first appointment with radiology oncologist next Monday.
It's going to be an 'interesting' journey.
If there are any PCa guys here I'd like to hear from you.
Thanks

(54,256 posts)Turns out I have osteopenia.
No, it has nothing to do with the penis.
It means that I have lost some bone density, but I haven't progressed to osteoporosis.
It's treatable.
I'm 1" shorter than I used to be.
6' 2 & 3/4" to 6' 1& 3/4".
