How this treatment impacted my life the most
Ten years after my laparoscopic radical prostatectomy my PSA readings started to climb again and, following tests at my local hospital, it was agreed that the prostate bed needed irradiating to remove any cancer. This involved a Monday to Friday daily course of radiotherapy with about 32 sessions. The treatment itself was pleasant and pain free. However, the overall process was tiring given that the hospital where I had the treatment was about 50 minutes away by train or by car.
Why did I give this answer?
The radiotherapy, carried out with a very late model machine, appears to have done the trick and the procedure was handled very efficiently. It would not be as tiring another time as I now live in a town much closer to a hospital so the travelling would be much less.
