Radiotherapy

Next week I go for radiotherapy for a lumpectomy. I have 5 days of it, being fair skinned I am worried about the 'sunburn' effect that it will probably have on me, as I stay out of the sun due to burning. Not to mention, the feeling sick! Any suggestions please?

Post radiotherapy side effects

Completed my radiotherapy treatment in July 2022 for prostate cancer.Starting to pass a little blood and mucus in my stools at times. Was wondering if this was a delayed response to the radiotherapy. Has anyone else experienced this ? Thanks in advance

Prostate cancer patients are better off with radiotherapy then surgery - new research

Meanwhile, only 4.5 percent of the radiotherapy group required the use of urinary continence pads" The radiotherapy group did, however, report more troubles with their bowels than the surgery group.

Having pectus carinatum and PC would radiotherapy or chemotherapy affect the strength of the rib cage structure?

I have had radiotherapy but would that or chemotherapy affect the bone strength of my rib cage structure? I have the final results of the radiotherapy [and blood tests] due on 24th March.

How to find a master of the cyberknife?

Hi all you fell AN sufferers (warriors), My vestibular schwannoma although small has protruded a bit into my porus (whatever that is - must look up) and the consultant radiologist says: offer radiotherapy. This info is on my patient notes as my apt with the ENT Dept is in June.

another treatment decision.

prostatectomy 2011, salvage radiotherapy 2015. Psa levels undetectable since then but lots of late effect problems from the radiotherapy. Have had several urethral dilatations due to strictures and following the last one earlier this year my incontinence has increased .
