Not been on here for a while but been reading some of the posts my journey is continuing I've had brachytherapy 4 weeks ago had 6/15 sessions of radiotherapy another 9 to go after that been told will be on HT for at least another year so now feel I'm well along the road to hopefully a full recovery. So far had no side effects just hope it continues that way.
I've kept positive from the very beginning and always doing something I'm quite keen on diy so been doing lots of jobs that I put off and really enjoyed it. Best of luck with your treatment I was nervous about something's but needn't have been it all went very well and was treated with great deal of consideration
Great to hear that things are going so well for you.
All the best for the future.

Hi
I was just wondering how you got on with the remainder of your 9 RT sessions?
did you have any side effects, and if so any recommendations for dealing with them?
as I mentioned in my last response, i am 8 weeks behind you, and have now just had my bracy operation (after HT) which seems to have gone very well without issues.
so far I don’t seem to have any bracy side effects.
i have my RT planning meeting next week and will likely start the 15 sessions in mid-May .... so was interested hear your experience and advise?
hope you completed your road to full recovery without side effects.
many thanks
Steve
Hi Steve I had no side effects from my RT I went in had treatment went about my life with no effects. I have just finished reflecting my shed roof and making wood water resistant with out feeling unduly tired. My only thing is I still need to P frequently hopefully that will get better in time. I feel well in myself and if I didn’t tell people I had P C they couldn’t tell. Hope that your treatment goes as well
