So finished 1 month of Radiotherapy for prostate cancer, 1st three weeks I was like this is okay
The last week all down hill, totally exhausted, peeing ever hour at night, without to much detail the other end is horrific, cold sores over lips, rash near top of thigh area.
Hot flushes back with a vengeance, any one else experienced similar things
Thanks
Hello Ruisliphoops
The 4 weeks of radiotherapy can affect us all differently - the fatigue catches up with everyone. The issues with your Number 1's and 2's should only be temporary.
If these, along with the cold sores and the rash are continuing you need to seek the help of your GP.
My hot flushes are controlled by Sage Tablets - they work for me, but not everyone.
I hope the above helps and you get back to normal as soon as possible.
Best wishes - Brian.
