Yay!!!   This morning I completed my six weeks/thirty sessions of radiotherapy for the solitary secondary prostate cancer spot found on my lung  :thumbsup  but I need to continue to be a patient patient as I won't get any results of the effectiveness of the treatment until the 18th November.   This is because radiotherapy takes some time to take full effect on the cancer cells, and they die kicking and screaming over time, and not instantly like the black hatted cowboys in the old western movies.   All those involved in my treatment are confident of a good outcome, and Chris and I are heading out for a little celebration tomorrow night.

You've had a tough time.  Great to have the end finally in sight.
All the best wishes for the results.

Bloody great news JuST Peter and StinkyPete, you are two great blokes that deal with your situation and remain positive through your "pothole" adventure in life's road.

At my age " getting lucky" is remembering what I came in the room for ;)

Lots of us are in the demographic where prostate cancer is on our radar.   We've either been impacted by this disease, or are at an age whereby it's appropriate to have anal annual checks with our GP.

My own experience with prostate cancer has been an ongoing and confronting journey since diagnosis and surgery 2010, and radiotherapy in 2013.   This week I begin a further six weeks of daily radiotherapy for a small secondary spot of prostate cancer that has been found in my lung.  Thankfully the rest of my body remains clear of disease.

Please have your regular checks.
Getting mine next week. Thanks for being up front on this.
