hi my name  is  banbeto  if you  finish your  treatment  Radiotherapy   how will  you  know  everything  went  Successfully ? they only  give you  the Treatment  paper  sheets 

  • Hi Banbeto,

    Once you’ve completed your radiotherapy an appointment will be made with your original oncologist to discuss everything. You will be asked to have a blood test a week prior to your appointment. The blood test usually checks for PSA, Testosterone & Renal.

    Give your oncologists secretary a call, there telephone number should be on your paperwork which told you what hormone injection you will be having.

     I hope this helps

  • Hi Banbeto

    After I finished RT in 2017, I never saw a nurse or specialist again.  Six month and then yearly PSA tests will show how successful treatment has been.  So the first two PSA tests obviously quite important . The lower the better but the main thing is that PSA doesn't start rising again.
