I had radiotherapy 4 years ago aged 70. It did the job and my psa is now 0.07. However I recently started feeling tired again and so my gp requested a poo test which came back positive. I'm now nervously awaiting results after a CT colonoscopy for possible colon cancer.. I just remember reading there was a very small risk involved and I agreed to the spacer gell being inserted before treatment to protect the rectum. I now find myself having regrets for not choosing surgery but of course its too late. Anyone else have a similar experience ?
Hi Tony,
I'm no expert but I suppose anyone can get colon cancer so it might not necessarily mean that radiotherapy had anything to do with it.
I had SRT three years ago and have the same what if thoughts.
Good luck,
Kev.
