Wishing you the best of luck with your treatment superhoop….will hopefully all be a distant memory soon x

I had my planning scan today. Managed to hold on long enough after drinking the water to emerge unscathed. Despite my best efforts to fart it all out, I was a little gassy, but apparently within tolerable limits. You were all right - the tattoos didn't hurt at all. Now onto the start of radiotherapy on 22 May.

I finished 20 sessions of salvage RT (without HT) on Tuesday at the Marsden. The first three weeks were a breeze, but I started having bowel problems in the final week. The excellent care team told me that this was not unexpected but it should settle down in coming weeks. Now we wait. I have a check-in in August and then another PSA test in December.
