I’ve been told from my Onco that despite having 2 attempts to come up with a treatment plan for 39 sessions of radiotherapy, they have failed to find a solution that would not risk too much damage to other organs such as the bowel and rectum. So I now have to go for another MRI scan and then see the Onco again with a view to having 20 sessions treating only the Prostate and Seminal Vesicles. I am T3bN0M0.
I am trying to understand why some men ARE suitable for this treatment and others are not? Has anyone else on here been in the same situation? Is it just down to the position of your organs?
Im not sure whether the Onco just thinks the risk of side effects of this treatment outweigh the risks of undetected spread, or whether it’s just too risky no matter what….but I’ll be having this conversation with him at the appointment.
