Hi all,
I completed 4 weeks of SGRT yesterday, 60gy to the prostate and 51gy to the Pelvic Lymph Nodes... Everything went very smoothly, also in regards to Bladder prep etc, and minimal side effects ie: a very slight warm stinging sensation when peeing, and looser stools from around midway (1 imodium a day has sorted that out)... Next stop is a Blood test end of March and a Consultation Meeting mid April... Hopefully my pre radiotherapy PSA of 0.11 has dropped a little and slowly gets down to undetectable or there abouts, and stays there, forever, haha...
As with my whole journey so far, in regards to the NHS, the Radiotherapy Team were amazing...
Full info of my journey is on my profile...
All the best guys
Jay
I had 4 weeks of SGRT.
PSA at start was 0.9. Two months after completion of RT it was 0.06. 14 months after completion of RT it was 0.01.
Great news Jay,
After a radiotherapy you should reach your nadir or lowest reading in about 18 months time as it keeps working long after you have completed your fractions.
Great news about your RT team. I went back to mine a few days later with a mountain of chocolate!!
Best wishes - Brian.
