Hello everyone
It’s a while since I have posted and after milling around the Forum with regards to prostitis I haven’t really found much regarding this.
Frank had his Radiotherapy back in November 2025 and had most of the pre-warned effects during this which subsided afterwards. Over the last three weeks he has had bleeding from his back passage on and off when either passing a bowel movement or straining with wind. It has quite bad over the last weekend and although he had contacted his specialist nurse a week or so ago, on her advice she said he would have to go through GP to go through the rigramole of blood tests bowels samples and likely scope before being sent back to oncology if indeed it is proctitis. He had bloods etc done yesterday so we now await the next steps. Reading about proctitis the symptoms do appear to match. The nurse mentioned various treatments that can be carried out depending on the severity of condition. A year ago he had a fistula repair which was a successful procedure. I did ask about Spaceoar because of this prior to RT but was told not required as the RT nowadays is very targeted. I hope it wasn’t disregarded due to cost as we would have paid for this privately if it had been suggested. Would be interested to hear of anyone here who has suffered from proctitis post radiotherapy.
Side note….. PSA still undectable
