,,, had a CT scan, one MRI, a PET scan, a biopsy and another CT scan. Then 39 days of radiotherapy. Apparently the average prostate weighs around 40g. Mine was 85g. I would have had this for years. My oncologist told me last week that the latest blood test result came up undetectable. When I was getting radiotherapy I was talking with guys who had treatment spans of 20 - 25 days. I saw a few of them start and finish during my treatment time. Apart from the biopsy the process was brilliant... wonderful staff and amazing machines.

Glad you are "clean" after all that!!!!

I too had a very good outcome (8 years ago) from radiotherapy. The only down side was I gained weight. His nurse had a very well stocked candy jar!
