Prostate radiotherapy

After having 37 fractions/treatment 

Do lose weight 

  • Hello and thanks for posting

    Some cancer treatments can lead to long term changes to your diet, affecting how you eat and what you can eat.

    Radiotherapy to the prostate can change the way your bowel works. Bowel motions may be more frequent and loose and some people may experience weight loss. Changing what you eat can sometimes help with this.

    We have information about diet and prostate cancer on our website that may be useful to read

    Always speak to your doctor, specialist nurse or dietician if you are continuing to lose weight. They can give you advice about how to adapt your diet.

    I hope this is of some use. Give us a ring if you would to talk anything over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Kind regards,
