Hello everyone.
I do hope everyone is doing as okay as they can be on here.
Just a question please ?
My hubby has been having radiotherapy and HT for stage T3a. He has finished the radiotherapy now & has roughly another 2 months of HT (he is on 6 mths HT).
The question I have is - what happens next ?
Does he see the oncologist for a review or will he just have a scan or PSA test & if so when is this likely to happen ? He said he had a scan on his penultimate radiotherapy session.
Just wondering what is in store next ?
Thank you
Hello Redrose25
Radiotherapy done, although it keeps working for another 12 months inside his body!!
Next will be a PSA test in 2/3 months time and if all is well he should move to 6 monthly PSA tests for say 3 years and if all is well then annual PSA tests.
That's how it's done where I live - all NHS trusts are different.
Best wishes - Brian.
