I found that after I stopped taking the hormone tablets, my penis and testicles returned to their previous state. However, ejaculated was less than before taking the tablets. My sex drive also increased afterwards.
I found that I had weakness in my legs for a long time after treatment. I am a keen walker and over time I built up to walks of 15 miles but still experience some weakness. I also experience a loss of balance.
Hormone tablets had the most impact..weight gain, loss of interest in sex. Weakness in legs. Radiotherapy caused existing back pain to worsen.
Yes
Initially I opted to have the surgical procedure to remove the prostate. I changed my decision and had radiotherapy and Bicalutimide. This I feel allowed me to regain some sexual function.
