Any information about sensitivity to CT scans on parts of body that have been affected previously by Radiotherapy and Brachytherapy?
I had
Radiotherapy
for cervical cancer 16 years ago and have had gastro problems helped by cholestagel, urinary and vaginal problems too. Two months ago I had to have CT scans for investigation. I hadn't realised they were radiation based.

Restarted C25K after cancer
Had chemo and
radiotherapy
in June-Sept and Oct-Nov 19. Had a 14 hour operation in March 20 and I'm currently fixed. I have a permanent stoma bag. However, I'm all fixed and finally decided i was fit enough to start running and nothing will stop me this time. So don't give up.

Lymph node forgotten?
In case he missed it , is it still an option to go for a second round of surgery to get it or should I go for
Radiotherapy
plus ADT to try to correct the problem. Thanks for any help Jean

Whole Brain Radiotherapy Treatment
UPDATE! I'm revisiting this post for motivation. The last couple of months have been a challenge to say the least but the last couple of weeks, well, lets just say Ive had to dig deep. As per MyMiracle's WBRT journey, Im now at the 'cant get upstairs stage', muscle weakness and mobility are at rock bottom

Should I be freaking out???!!
Following my second biopsy just before Christmas, the preliminary results just after, Gleason 6 (3+3) before, now G7 (3+4), 4 cores all positive at target site, one was 11mm of cancer and finally, the pathologist found 'ductal cancer' and this meant they suggested some form of treatment - either RP or

Looking for a good MO specializing in prostate cancer treatment.
I have been receiving treatment at Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota for the last 3 years. Urologist is Matthew Tollefson. As psa is just starting to rise after radiation therapy, 6 months of Lupron and a 6 month period of being undetectable, I am thinking that I should have a good MO involved. Any

Supplements and Radiation Therapy
I am 69 and was diagnosed approximately 4 months ago with locally advanced Ductal Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate, Gleason 8, with seminal vessel involvement. I've been on Eligard for 3 months and had blood tests yesterday but I don't have any results to share yet. I also had a CT SIM yesterday in preparation

Post SABR (SBRT) side effects
My father underwent 5 rounds of SABR alongside a 4-month injection of Lupron. He finished his last radiation treatment on Feb 18th. The last three days he has been experiencing a lot of gas and diarrhea. I messaged the radiation oncologist and he suggested Imodium and the BRAT diet. Anybody have any

The efficacy and safety of radical prostatectomy and radiotherapy in high-risk prostate cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis
For your consideration........recent update...... https://wjso.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12957-020-01824-9 Conclusion here...... RP seems to offer better OS but inferior results for CSS and biochemical recurrence. Brachy boost may perform better in all aspects. I think Tall_Allen has already

Leg cramps during/after ADT.
Perhaps unrelated? I am curious to see if anyone else has this issue. After radiation treatment (no surgery) I was treated with Lupron for 2 years. About halfway through, besides the normal side effects, I developed leg cramps during exercise, even a short walk. Calcium and Magnesium levels are normal

You're okay until you're not
You’re okay until you’re not they say regardless of the trend. After a disappointing PSA last week I spoke with my RO and Uro about the results. I have great respect for the Uro and he knows my concerns well as we have discussed my fluctuating PSA many times. He believes the numbers are just incremental

What to do??
That said, the options she put to me were more active surveillance,
Radiotherapy
or Surgery. What do you guys think??
