today’s appointment with the oncologist

[ukpete]

well had a lot to take in today but was left feeling positive, basically from today I start taking Bicalutamide 150mg tablets for a month , I will get a CT scan then have 23 radiotherapy sessions, all was explained regarding bowel & bladder, side effects etc, I asked a lot about what I will go through and what to expect, one daft question I didn’t ask, why 23 sessions? Not important really,

Well I feel mentally better knowing I have a plan and it’s in progress, any advice on dealing with this would really be appreciated,

Do a lot of cardiovascular exercise.

I am pretty active, but will definitely step it up, thanks again

Sorry it came to this but I'm glad that like me you also feel better when a new treatment plan is in place.

[ukpete]

definitely, felt in limbo, now I have a plan to work with, certainly feel mentally better

Glad you are feeling better with a plan in place. Do you know if the planned SRT is to just the prostate bed, or wider area to include lymph nodes? Good luck, I gather resistance/ weight training is good too for the ADT side effects.
