Hi, I have localised prostate cancer and I am about to start Hormone Therapy followed by Radiotherapy.
Although localised, I am told that the tumor is nearing breaching the capsule which is worrying. I asked to be referred for Cyberknife but Royal Marsden had reached the end of trials and St Bart's declined the referral. Seems like the private route is available if you can afford it.
My consultant has now suggested Space OAR Hydrogen treatment to minimise damage to the rectum BUT said that he did not think that NHS are provide this treatment, and the cost to go private would be circa £6000; again too expensive for me.
I have since found out that the NHS have many hospitals in the UK who do provide Space OAR treatment. Can anyone help with NHS hospitals who offer the treatment. I live near Portsmouth, but could travel for the treatment.
