Just got back from a school trip so first job was to see if there was any news from you and what great news it is. Brilliant - glad it's now behind you and you are moving on.

How weird is that! What is the onco’s theory? I hope you have both had a lovely evening, especially El for having to put up with all the Lego and angst x

Haha I’ve just done an hour’s Lego !! Not sure but asked plenty of questions Lyn. It boils down to different people in different areas of the country with different Onco’s with differing views !! He may even be bound with what he can offer without substantial evidence. In my position he said the next treatment would still be SRT which I have no interest in at all as you know.
We all know one can have a low psa but a nasty cancer , or a high psa with a mild one , yet the rate of change is very pertinent in either direction. I’m not sure what to say , and it seems I say too much sometimes , but I’m personally more than happy to be left as I am enjoying life and I have the confidence in this man and his credentials that I know he would be pushing treatment if it was needed. Massive amounts of over-treatment as we know because of NICE guidelines. All supposition , but I may have gone through 36 days RT last year only to be in exactly the same position as I am now , yet with more side-ecfects. I questioned micro-mets but they reckon 2 PETS would have seen them ! We both happy and I don’t want unnecessary treatment , so it’s win at the moment. I know it could all go wrong but I’d rather have it this way. Everyone enjoy their weekend !

Wow, must be a relief - keep yer chin up m8 👍

I’m at 26 sessions out of 33 RT so far, I really hate going through it though as I’m fully aware that the cancer cells may well be elsewhere in my body whilst my prostate bed is getting zapped

Tired now but no changes in urinary/bowel/sexual function so far but I think those come further down the line?

Some men don't experience any of these or only experience them many years later. John is nearly 6 years post SRT and no sign of any problems yet.
