Please could anyone tell me how they felt after going through the journey of being told you have prostate cancer and being treated for for it with radiotherapy over the course of a year approximately due to covid only to come out the other end still not knowing if they have cured the cancer or not . Whilst i understand they cant say 100 percent they have cured the cancer i just would have thought they would have a good idea however im being told the only way forward now is to keep checking my psa regular.
I just feel i have gone through all of this and feel a little numb still not knowing if im cured or not please can anyone tell me there experiences and if they ended up feeling like this i know i should be glad that i have completed the treatment and everything like that but just cant stop my mind thinking did they get it all.
Thanks in advance
Hi marlin66
I'm sorry to read that you feel let down because your consultant can't tell you whether you are cured or not.
I hope you don't mind me suggesting that you also post this in the prostate cancer group, which I can see you're a member of, as that way you'll directly reach other men who can tell you what happened to them after their treatment had finished.
If you'd like to do that then clicking on the link I've created will take you straight there where you can start a new post in exactly the same way as you posted here.
Wishing you all the best
Thank you for your help ref the way i am feeling as you say i will re post it and see what response i get thanks very much again
