VMAT Radiation Treatment side effects
Last week I completed 20 VMAT sessions with little to no side effects or discomfort. However this week, fatigue is setting in as well as frequent loose bowel movements. I still have my Prostate and it is pretty sore as well. I was warned frequency was likely to occur, so I'm not surprised. I know everyone

Radiotherapy
Hi, Iām going for a MRI in the morning, itās so the oncologist can see if itās safe to carry out the radiotherapy. The choice has been left up to me if I want it. I asked my surgeon what he thought and he would say either way. I had a grade 2 atypical meningioma removed along with part of my skull

That is the only spot they can see any PC So hoping that gets killed off & gives me more time before
