Hi John,
Great news everything has went so well for you in the end.
I am currently undergoing 37 sessions of RT, I have completed 33 and only have 4 to go.
I am lucky in that I have had no side effects from RT and the treatment has been a breeze so far.
I am also on HT started in Feb 2013, got some muscle aches and pains in first few weeks but they quickly subsided.
After about six weeks I started getting the hot flushes but they were manageable, 7 months into the treatment they have also subsided.
I have not had any other issues or side effects since.
As you say John, it gives great comfort and encouragement to other people facing this treatment, when they see how well men like you and I have handled it, although I do appreciate not everyone might be so lucky.
Regards,
Gerry
Good luck and best wishes to ALL who are fighting or affected by cancer.
