That was my final radiotherapy session today. 20 in total.

Few side effects apart from loose bowels from the beginning and later on a feeling of cystitis with some extreme occasional urgency! It was difficult holding it in a couple of times on the radiotherapy table, but fortunately I didn't disgrace myself.

I see the consultant in 6 to 8 weeks with a PSA test a week prior.

My prostate has been fried but hopefully the cancer cells have been fried considerably more.

Just be warned the the side effects get worse for a few days. My nadir was about 10 days post-radiotherapy. My recovery from that point was not linear - but more good days than bad days. Byt the 6 week review with the consultant, I was 100%.

Thank you for the heads up. I've felt quite tired today. I will post again in a few days. It's all good info for others expecting to have radiotherapy.
