Long term after treatment

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer 3 years ago and finished my hormone and radiation treatment in September 2023, and all seems to be ok with my PSA down to 0.6.


However over the past 3 years since my treatment finished, I have felt continuously tired, have been subject to several chest infections, colds etc, and generally not quite right. I’m wondering whether perhaps my immune system has been affected by my treatment and was wondering if others have had these issues??

Hi John, 


You might find it helpful to talk this through with our Specialist Nurses. You can contact them on 0800 074 8383 (Monday – Friday 9am-5pm, Wednesdays 10am-5pm).  


We also have a Peer Support service that can arrange for you to speak with a man to discuss their experiences post treatment. You can read more about it here One-to-One Peer Support Service | Prostate Cancer UK. 


All the best, 


Payge - Peer Support Senior Officer (Online Community)
