My husband has his first clinical oncologist appointment on Monday.  He’s decided on radiotherapy.  Although we will be asking about brachytherapy and other options during the appointment.  We’re still unsure if he will be given ADT, although the urologist said he hasn’t been offered it after the first MDT meeting. I wonder if that might change when we speak to the oncologist.  My question is what is the general time between appointments if he was to choose EBRT ? When would he be likely to be receiving the radiotherapy.  I know this is different with each health board, but I’m just wondering what other people’s timings have been.  All of this started on April 15th, so it’s coming up to 6 months, although it feels like longer.  I was also wondering if anyone has had the space oar, Velindre is running a clinical trial on it, so I was wondering, my husbands quite worried about damage to the other organs, so this feels hopeful.

 Thank you everyone x
