Adding radiation therapy to prostate cancer surgery has been a tough call. New science eases the dilemma
The meta-analysis, which included 2,153 patients followed for an average of five years, found that 88% of men who held off on radiation did not have a relapse, compared to 85% who had radiation soon after surgery. Among those who held off, 67% still didn't need radiation up to eight years later. Urinary

Urine retention
While in there, he showed me scar tissue in my prostate from
radiotherapy
and cryotherapy. I never had surgery. He decided to leave the catheter in for a few days to “stretch” the tissue.

SRT or ART? I was about to do ART but read these studies just in time (less than 2 weeks before radiation was going to start).

Just finished radiotherapy but feel overwhelmed
Lymph node removal showed no spread, so lumpectomy and
radiotherapy
, along with taking Tamoxifen (oncotype result 17, so no chemo). Haven't felt too bad physically, apart from severe cording following surgery, which is now almost cleared up and finished my
radiotherapy
yesterday.

My cancer has come back in my chest bone!
It hasn’t spread anywhere else yet and I am due to have
radiotherapy
but my bone consultant is on holiday for two weeks so I haven’t a clue what to expect or my prognosis. Has anyone experienced the same? X

Article
I have written a patient perspective article about
radiotherapy
and acute and late effects and it’s been accepted by a medical imaging journal for their special edition which is out later in the year. I mention PRDA UK 👍🏻🙂🥰

Update on Lumpy and treatment
hi all! I hope you are enjoying your weekend! I am relishing it. The house is empty, I have coffee and my kitty by my side and I'm not budging until I have to. I am half way thru a radiation treatment on my inguinal node!! The node has shrunk to where I'm barely able to feel it now. I have no side effects

Waiting for surgery to remove Acoustic Neuroma don't know what to expect
I have had my tumour for 7 years and been on a watch and wait with MRI scans every year but now it has got to the stage it needs treatment I thought I was going to have
Radiotherapy
but when I went to the consultant he explains it is too big so needs to be removed by surgery could do with some feedback

Follicular thyroid cancer
I am a 50 year old female with previous lymphoma and this may be as a result of

Lump
Hi had lumpectomy followed by 5 days of
radiotherapy
because I am at high risk from covid 19 to spend as little time out as possible higher doses of
radiotherapy
was given so basically 15 day treatment in 5.

Meeting with a radiation oncologist for the first time this Thursday.
UCLA requires that the "Treating radiation oncologist intends to incorporate 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT findings into the
radiotherapy
plan." Have you done this before? Are you capable of doing it? 2. My primary focus at this point is the potential for a cure. What treatments best fit this focus?

Cavitating lesion
Unfortunately surgery has been ruled out, as have chemo and
radiotherapy
- I am waiting results of tests to determine if I am suitable for immunotherapy. Not sure what this thing is, nor what to expect down the line so thought I'd ask here.
