Hi I've have just received the news today that I have prostrate cancer, its is only a small area and is contained. I have a psa of 5.13 and a gleason score of 3.4 does anyone know how many radiotherapy sessions I would have please ?
Hi Denin
Welcome!
Happy to be corrected but no one in my group had less than 20 sessions.
Regards
Stuart
I kept a journal. Five weeks from my prostap injection, lack of libido kicked in, six weeks and flushes started, two months after radiotherapy finished, toilet 1 and 2 was easier, and libido seems to have returned. Flushes still in force. Another month and flushes have eased off. I only put on a few pounds, up and down, but have a bit of a 'tummy' I've never had before.
I think we have it easy tbh .. from what I've seen and read. I'm 62.
