Prostate Radiotherapy

I have been getting Hormone Therapy for a year now and also taking a tablet, Tamsulosin. I have been told I will be getting Radiotherapy treatment as well but was wondering is there a time scale when this should be carried out. My reading on the Gleason Scale was 3+4=7

Thanks

    Hi Jcws and a warm welcome to the forum, I am not a nurse though I do have prostate cancer PCa, as your Gleason score is very favourable for being cured over 99% success rate, your hormone therapy HT should keep your cancer in check for some time yet, can I ask if you have a PSA number and if you are having regular PSA blood tests, take care.
