Radiotherapy

How this treatment impacted my life the most

People can be put off by the idea of radiotherapy, and the machines look awe-inspiring, but I found that it had little impact on my everyday life, bar the time taken up - most of a morning every day for four weeks.

If I had to do it all over again, would I choose the same treatment?

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

A reduction in PSA from 17 to 0.04 can't be bad! But getting the original PSA test was a problem; be firm and insist that your GP agrees to a blood sample if you have any suspicions.
