Worried
Treatment will involve chemo and
radiotherapy
as there are still cancer cells left but fortunately I had PET CT scan and it has not spread[i] yet![/i] I have been getting very anxious waiting for treatment to start and have had 3 nasty angina attacks in the past week.

Anal Cancer - after effects
I had chemo/

for Anal Cancer in 2015 and was signed-off in 2021. Several times post treatment I have had spells of anal aching and soreness that mirrored what I experienced prior to diagnosis and treatment.

They were treated succesfully with stereotactict
radiotherapy
. My PSA currently and for the last 33 months is <0.01 Recent Bone CT scan results finds 22 mm new sclerotic metastasis in the femur. My MO said this might be normal and order a new bone scan in six months.

I have had long term UTIs arising post radiation therapy. I also have bile salts malabsorption which causes bowel issues so it’s not always easy to keep myself as clean as I would like and I have been told this is likely to be the cause of the repeated UTIs Up until recently for approx 6 years

I'm 8 days away from completing my 45 radiation treatment. The side effects have not been pleasant but now the beam is more focused on the prostate. I am having a problem emptying my bladder and for the last week have been unable to sleep for more than 2 hrs at a time without waking to pee. My Dr. recommended

Testosterone & RLS
It emerged 62 years later, immediately
radiotherapy
and hormone therapy for prostrate cancer commenced in 2012. Could there be a link between lack of testosterone and episodes of RLS?
