prostate cancer

Rapid,

Did your Oncologist recommend one or the other?  I had the choice taken away last year, I was unsuitable for surgery, so I had the Hormones and 20 fractions of Radiotherapy.

I was told that I had to be on Hormones for 3 months before the Radiation treatment could begin.

There's a guy I work with, he has just started 20 fractions of Radiotherapy but without the Hormones.  It's a bit early to see any possible side effects.  There's also intensive Radiation treatment, 5 sessions, also without Hormone treatment.

Remember, not everyone gets side effects, mine was mostly fatigue and nearly a year after the Radiation treatment ended I am still bothered by the fatigue.

Don't regret it for a minute as I am now in Remission.

Raaid,

Sorry about the predictive text.

Thanks for the info Steve: I haven't had any word of an appointment with the Oncologist yet. However, do have an appointment with the surgeon in about 10 days. Interesting to year your story. Not to keen on the surgery as due to the side effects.

cheers
