ONE YEAR POST RADIOTHERAPY

[Desanthony]

Just wanted to let you know that at my last check one year post radiotherapy my PSA is now undetectable. I am doing OK too. A few late onset side effects after 6 months which may or may not be radiation proctitis - gastroenterologist says it is but onc says it isn't. Am hoping they will sort something out between them soon. Am treating it with various things which may work - certainly things have got better generally since I started the treatment in October and I can live with things as they are so long as they don't get any worse.

All the best to everyone here.

Congratulations! Undetectable is a really good number to have. Sometimes it seems the side effects outweigh the the main reason we put up with these indignities. Hopefully, the two will stop discussing and the issue resolve itself. You didn't mention it, but I hope everything else is going well in your life.

Des, the sun also rises. Good luck and God Bless.

Oh the side effects are nothing! Just wish they could get their acts together and work out what is actually wrong. It is amazing to be right in the middle of all this with one side saying it is the radiation and the other one saying it is not. I just know it is there and wish they would communicate with each other and get it sorted.
