Bubba's journey

Hi Bubba, good that RT is now done and dusted without too many problems, I always feel sorry for those that had to have the enema every day before being zapped. In the Worcester Health Trust they do not have it as part of standard daily procedure but will give one if needed. So glad I did not have to have one daily.

You will probably have a PSA test just before you see the onco, on Dx my PSA was 63 and after RT dropped to 0.01 and officially undetectable so let's hope you have the same.

Best wishes for August appt and fingers crossed the worst is over, have you finished HT now?

Regards Chris/Woody

Bubba,

Great news you're free from the daily rigours of the RT routine now but it can take a little time to adjust to life without it ! Hopefully any residual RT fatigue will cease for you soonest. Mine went after about 6 weeks.

My RT centre prescribed enemas for daily use one hour before RT sessions. At my first RT appointment for the insertion of the gold fiducial markings I was given a package containing 42 enemas . I still have some of them! It's interesting how different each of our treatment plans are for something very similar.

I hope that your first Psa test results are as good as Chris PB's were.

Keep in touch ,

John
