Hi

I was diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer last year.  I'm on Zoladex implants.

In March I saw the oncologist and he put me onto a 6 cycle course of chemo of which I had four cycles before falling ill on Easter Sunday.  The last two were cancelled on his advice.  I then saw him in April before starting a course of external beam radiotherapy.  Since completing that 19 July I've seen no-one.  I did have an appointment for the start of October, but that was cancelled.

How frequently should I be seeing an oncologist?  I had a PSA test in October which my GP told me the results of, how frequently should I have them?

Thanks,

Martin
