RT

Hi Mal CG.

That's great news, yes I had to have some radiotherapy a few weeks ago too my pelvis and right hip just one shot.

This instantly calmed down the bone pain and I will find out the results hopefully when I see my consultant at the hospital.

I do hope that everything goes well with your treatment my friend.

Prostate Worrier 

Hello Mal CG 

That 's great news - so they are going to "zap" both the Prostate and the pelvic area which I hope will sort out your issues once the Hormone Therapy has got to work. It's nothing to worry about - the hardest part of the radiotherapy treatment is travelling to and from the hospital and finding somewhere to park!!

I have had both my prostate and pelvic lymph nodes done and it's worked for me with little or no side effects.

The best advice I can give you is nearer the time take what ever advice the radiologists give you at the planning scan and follow it to the letter. 

During your fractions of radiotherapy - let you team know of any changes to you or your bodily functions.

Enjoy the holiday.

Best wishes - Brian.

Hi Mal CG , that sounds like good news.  I was zapped across prostate and pelvis 7 years ago.  If you need any info, just ask.  Try and keep fit as that will help you in the long run and have a really great holiday.  Best wishes, David
