Wait time for radiotherapy

Pre treatment scan in a couple of weeks then radiotherapy for prostate cancer, how long after scan will radiotherapy treatment start? 

  • Hi there bulgaria and thanks for the post

    I am sorry to hear you are awaiting treatment and appreciate how unsettling this can be.

    I'm afraid there can be variations in how long people will need to wait for radiotherapy following planning scans. This question is better asked directly to the hospital you are under who will be able to give you a better idea of when you will start your treatment.

    I hope you know more soon and that your treatment goes well.

    Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Best wishes
