Hi I was wondering does anyone know the strength of the radiation that was used in their treatment? Is there a consistent rate applied or does it vary on the size of the tumour? Rather like Pierrepoint measuring his victims dependent on their height and weight?
Hi Rens. I agree with Steve. I am T3a N0 M0 Gleason 5+4=9. My RT plan was 20 fractions of radical radiotherapy at 60Gy to the Prostate and Nodes.
I was given the figures both before and after RT. I hope this helps.
Brian.
