Surgery or Radiotherapy? Decision made!

Great news it’s going well,long May it continue,enjoy your weekend,rest up

Hi Millibob - driving is just over 30 mins each way on the A1 (after rush hour, as my sunbed appointment is 10:00 every day), so no real problem.  Also, the parking - for those undergoing cancer treatment at Peterborough hospital is free and plenty of space.  Ready for a rest though, but I will guarantee I’ll be raring to go on Monday morning!!  AW

Happy days - I shall be on the A1 a week on Saturday when Oldham play Ebbesfleet away! it's a cracking road now they have removed all the roundabouts,

Yes, Christies in Oldham have a gated free car park for anyone undergoing Radiotherapy and it's free.

Enjoy the weekend. I think once you have completed all your fractions and the travelling stops - you don't meet people for a chat in the waiting room - you will find it's like a wilderness - almost abandoned by the NHS.

Ah, but won’t be abandoned on here !    AW

As you well know once you are a member of the Number 1 online Prostate Cancer Community - we look after our own!!

Glad to hear that everything is going well & that you are now in a routine.  I would have loved the same appointment time every day (preferably early morning), but mine varied from 08:20 to 16:00 with a great mixture in between those times.  There was no allocated car park & although parking was free (they gave me a different QR code slip each day to scan on exit) it was like a lottery each day finding a space.  It felt amazing each time I won lol.

I think your research will serve you well.

I think you probably made the best choice and your treatment plan has also gone very well.

Good decision I had the same choice 6  months ago now brachytherapy and RT are all behind me and I am moving on , there’s absolutely nothing to worry about with this treatment honestly all my fears where wasted , good luck on the conveyer belt of treatment lay back and take it 

Hello Mustardo  Great to see you around and I am so pleased all is well - Keep well and keep in touch.

Best wishes - Brian.

Thanks for the reassurance Mustardo- a couple of questions if that’s Ok:

Are you still on HT and if so, how long for? The consultant says I only need one year (which I agree with- as that’s the same as the ASCENDE-RT trial.

what is your latest PSA?  
cheers, AW
