As part of my radiotherapy treatment I have had the high dose rate brachytherapy, which involves having a radioactive source – (iridium pellets), placed in my prostate, through hollow needles, under general anaesthetic which takes 3 hours from start to finish.
This was then followed by a planning appointment on 6th August for a CT scan to determine where to point the external beam, which will mean going to Christie’s every weekday for 15 days (weekdays only) over the three weeks which starts on Thursday 16th August , which is when I will have to go to Christie’s every day for 15 days (weekdays only) for external beam radiotherapy.
My Oncologist says he is aiming to cure me!!
