I have received treatment, "Radiotherapy" for Prostate Cancer and it is bringing down my PSA count, the treatment was finished about 16 months ago but I am still getting side effects, like running for the toilet, also Erectile Dysfunction to the extent my Penus almost goes in on itself. I am trying Viagra 100gm not completely successful.

These are not uncommon side effects, but it sounds like your treatment is being helpful for the cancer.

There are medicines to try for the frequency and other drugs you can try for the erectile problem, but erections are often affected by the treatment.
