I completed radiotherapy for prostate cancer some 9 months ago. I am concerned that when I ejaculate I have a lot of blood in the semen, is this normal after this period of time ?

Hello and thanks for posting,
Blood in the semen can be caused by fragile blood vessels bursting, which may have been weakened by the radiotherapy. It is usually harmless and self limiting.
If you are concerned about the amount of blood then do consult with your GP, as sometimes it can be due to an infection.
I hope this helps,
Best wishes,
