First RT session

[Ianrs]

No issues at all with first radiotherapy therapy treatment of 6 gy this morning. Long may it last!! I will now double down on exercise and consumption of supplements in the expectation that weakened cancer cells are less able to resist any benefits they may offer. The next 5 appointments are all confirmed with last one on October 26

Do NOT take any supplements or even multi-vitamins - they may interfere with what the radiation is trying to achieve.

More exercise is great!

many thanks TA. That information is very important and despite all my reading had passed me by. No supplements for me for the next two months. By accident, I have posted this on prostate cancer and not advanced prostate cancer - so I will write something similar on the latter. Once again, thank you

Not the expert but worth a read and discussion with RO. Mine also wanted me on the statin as that acts as radiosensitizer also.
