Hi I am Jed13 and new to the group could do with help with side effects of radio therapy mainly the sexual side I would appreciate any help with this I am 63 and had radio therapy 2 years ago thankks
Hi Jed
Radiotherapy doesn't normally give problems long term, usual about 4-6 weeks starting midway through treatment.
If u are on hormone therapy as well then that's more likely to create sexual issues although these should fade away when the HT finishes.
You don't say what your stats are and looks like u were treated for PC a couple of years ago?
