hi all,

I had the fiducial markers inserted into my prostate yesterday.

Does anyone know when it is safe to cycle/exercise after this procdure as I forgot to ask at the hospital.

Cheers, Aldo

Aldo, no experience of fidical makers, looks like your post got lost. I am sure someone with experience or knowledge will know the answer.

Thanks Chris

I had gold seeds inserted and told it was ok to exercise including cycling. I would maybe give it 2 or 3 days just to make sure and if you don’t have any discomfort go for it. It’s not nearly so traumatic as the biopsies and I was told after that to give it 2 or 3 days. If you’re unsure just give Urology (do you have a CNS?) a call and they will keep you right.

obviously treatment is starting soon…. You’ll be having a CT Planning scan next and then RT. I’ve just finished my first week RT and so far all good but I know after 10 days things can start to get a bit more problematic.

I’m away out in my ebike this afternoon as given the AllClear for doing this during treatment😊

Good Luck!

Thanks for the reply. I thought it would be ok after 2/3 days but wanted to be sure .
Keen to keep my fitness up before RT starts.

Good idea Aldo about the fitness. I’m keeping as fit and active as possible before and now during RT in the hope that it helps with the RT fatigue.
