that made me chuckle..

Why ?

 

[Van Cleef]

I've been on Tamsulosin long release capsules for about 4 years, but my pharmacy (morrisons) has said they can no longer source these. My latest prescription is still Tamsulosin but instead of capsules I now have prolonged release tablets.
I was wondering if anyone else had the same issue, and if so had they noticed any difference?

Everything crossed for you.

Really with you on this, matey. You'll be fine.
I was on the hormone treatment before they changed their mind to remove it.
It made me a bit tired but that's not so bad.
If you want to chat to any of us, I'm sure a quick pm will sort that.....take care.

Sake. I'm on another UTI. Something ain't right down there.

I had 3 UTI's in 2 years and it was while the doctor was looking into why that she gave me a routine PSA test. the result, 6.4 she said was nothing to worry about, they don't get excited until it is in double figures. The digital test, aka finger up the bum was also negative, the cancer was round the other side. Luckily my doctor checked any score over 4 and not only did I have prostate cancer but it had already spread to the nerve bundle around the prostate. No health proffesional said there was any relationship between the UTI's and the cancer although I have not had any more UTI's since even though my uretha is obviously shorter now.

The doctor telling you they don't do anything until double figures is wrong afraid.
Mine was 9.58!
Hope you feel OK.

Yes as I go on to explain I had cancer that had already spread beyond my prostate. My doctor said they don't usually get excited until double digits. Prostate gone so OK.

mine was only 5.6 but had risen rapidly ......my prostate was 40 % tumour , thankfully my gp saved me from a shitty , painful death ..... my gleason rating was 8-10 , aggressive and my option was immediate surgery or radiation but if the radiation failed i was foobarred.
