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 Blush

  • Hello  

    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.
