Radiotherapy can have different side effects, depending on the cancer being treated. If you can tell us what the radiotherapy is for, we can direct you to a specific support group for the cancer and then you’d be able to connect with others who are going through or have gone through the same type of thing.

Thanks for confirming that. I’ll give you the link to the prostate cancer group here, so if you click on it you’ll be taken directly to the group. Just join the group by clicking on the banner going across the page and then you’ll be able to post your questions there. It’s a friendly group where you’ll get lots of advice, both for patients and partners.
