New to radiotherapy

[Christor13]

I'm going to have golden seeds placed tomorrow, ahead of 39 sessions of radiotherapy on a tumor that has grown from my prostate and is now impacting on my bowel. PSA didn't show the tumor growth. Changed bowel habits were the clue. I have been on ADT for 3 years for bony mets.

Hi

I am from Action Radiotherapy, the charity that set up this community. We are currently seeking funding to set up a dedicated professionally manned chat service and phone line for patients undergoing radiotherapy for their cancer. This will be operated by radiotherapy professionals who will be able to offer advice, information and/or support to those who need it, either electronically or on the phone.

Radiotherapy is amazing but can seem complex to patients. We would be able to signpost patients on the right way forward, understand their options and above all get the right type of radiotherapy for their diagnosis.

Do you think this is something that would be of interest? Would you have used it or would you use it now?

Any comments would be much appreciated

As a fairly recent receiver of Radio Therapy, yes I would have love to have had a site to go to for info and support.

Good Luck with this.
