My treatment - update
Posted: Thu May 15, 2008 8:34 pm
Hello all,
I don't expect to be posting much for the next few weeks. Radiotherapy every afternoon till July [2 hours travelling for 2 minutes RT] and exam marking every evening.
Treatment so far has been going very well. I have been able to get onto my plot as usual and also rotavate someone else's allotment and dig the bits of it that can't be efficiently rotavated. Time will be in short supply, but not energy. I don't experience the tiredness they warn you about and the only reaction to the hormone treatment is the occasional hot flush. I know everyone is different, but I suspect that the healthier you and your life-style are to begin with [all that home-grown veg!], the easier it is to take non-complicated prostate cancer and its treatment in your stride.
See you all [in print anyway] in July.
Best wishes
mike
