Hello,I had radiotherapy in 2020 for my prostate cancer which was diagnosed late my PSA was 109 Gleason 9 so really aggressive the radiotherapy didn't work I started the ADT therapy but once again the side effects were very very bad sweating every hour 24/7 they call it hot flashes but it was sweating couldn't sleep the sheets were soaking wet with sweat.
So I stopped that and rather have quality of life but getting back to radiotherapy I had no side effects until two years later when I suddenly started to get blood coming out of my rectum!
Once they investigated it with a camera up me *** they found that the radiotherapy had burnt or cut lesions into the wall of my large intestine or rectum area so I get really bad stomach ache and a load of bright red fresh blood when I go to the toilet or if I pass wind it runs out!
But initially the radiotherapy didn't hurt or cause any issues I wasn't tired or upset stomach nothing at all but then after two years I started getting blood coming out of my rectum on a regular basis.
They said they could seal the cuts up but I said no way there is always some side effects at least I can endure this blood coming out & stomach ache it's better the devil you know
