Hopefully the planned RT will not be interrupted but it's best to ask oncologist about the effect of this in the rather new experience. However, other than short breaks for weekends and Bank Holidays, longer breaks are not recommended for the standard RT to Prostate where a sustained course of RT causes maximum damage to the DNA of cancer cells..

Rob is very well, thanks, Mrs MAS. His PSA is down to 0.2, although his right leg is swollen. He is having a scan in a week's time (unless it is cancelled). Radiotherapy would not have been an option as he had it over 10 years ago.  I don't know if it would have been appropriate with the spread in his lymph nodes anyway. I'm so glad that your husband's radiotherapy is going ahead.  All the best to you both.                                                                                                      Shelagh xx

Glad to hear Rob is well, aside from his leg. Please update me after the scan if it goes ahead. Look after yourself Shelagh. X

Hi Mrs MAS

I hope that your husband managed to complete his radiotherapy successfully and that you are both doing well. We are both fine.

Hi Shelagh 

I was thinking about you only yesterday.

Glad you are both okay, how did Robs scan go and how is his leg?

My husband completed RT on 19 May with no problems, he's had a few side effects but nothing he can't manage and nothing like chemo. 

He ll have a PSA test in about 5 weeks so fingers crossed for that. 

Best wishes

Hi Melissa

I’m so glad your husband managed well with his RT. Fingers crossed for the results.

Rob has bloods and a phone appointment with his oncologist next week and we’ll get the results of the scan then too. 
Take care.

My husband finished radiotherapy about 6 weeks ago with manageable side effects and without catching Covid.

Just got his PSA result from last week's blood test and it is 0.07.

We are very pleased.

Thought I would share the good news.

Fab news. I was an “early adopter” of chemo followed by RT on diagnosis and relatively young at the time (49). Five and a half years on still here , PSA 0.12 for the last 2 years , I run thousands of miles a year , can’t complain so hopefully you and hubby will have many good years ahead just like my family and I have enjoyed.

Thanks everyone. 

Irun, the first time I logged onto Prostate Cancer UK I found you and your story. I know you don't post much but your story gives me much hope.

Hi, 

So, just over a year after being diagnosed, Mr MAS's PSA reading is undetectable!

Of course I had to delve further and this means the machine can read anything over 0.05 so must be under that. 

We are very pleased and wanted to share the good news.
