My husband has completed 20 sessions of radiotherapy and zoladex injections once a month alongside. We thought that these would now stop but he has been told he could have th em for 2/3 years!!!! Can anyone throw light on this possibility?
Hi Cumbrialady
It would help us to help you if you could put your husbands stats into your profile. I was T3A N0 M0, Gleason 9 when diagnosed in 2018. I also had 20 sessions of RT in early 2019 and was on Prostap injections for three years. The length of time on HT largely depends on the aggressiveness of the PCa which is indicated by the Gleason score. The more aggressive the original diagnosis the longer the time on HT.
I hope that helps.
Thankyou Seamus ! His results were the same as yours but Gleason 7. Did you have them monthly or 3 monthly?
