After radiotherapy - what next?

I am now 10 days after my final prostate radiotherapy session (20 in total). I just can't help wondering if it has actually cured my cancer, as my consultant said it would. The worst part is now having to wait about three months for a blood PSA test and maybe other tests, to see if the cancer has indeed been eradicated.

Am I being paranoid or is this a normal reaction after treatment? I should be  very happy, having sailed through the 20 sessions without any significant side effects. But at the moment I don't feel great, for the reasons noted above.

I'd love to hear from anybody who may have had similar experiences.

  • Hi, know how you feel! I finished my RT in October, but did ask for my PSA reading and was given it… down from 9.1 to 0.6. My first review is the beg of May so little anxiety to see if any movement. Oncologist like yours was similarly confident the RT and hormone will have done their work.
