Welcome to Cancer Chat Hoppen, although I'm sorry to hear you've started to experience some side effects from your radiotherapy.
If your side effects don't improve, or get worse, make sure you let your cancer team know as they will do all they can to support you and if needed, provide you with some medications that will make things more manageable.
You can find out more about radiotherapy for prostate cancer and general radiotherapy side effects on our website but if you'd like to discuss any of this further with one of our cancer nurses, you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they can to help.
Hopefully some of our members who have contended with similar side effects will share their tips and advice with you soon but in the meantime, I'm wishing you all the best with the rest of your treatment and will have my fingers crossed that things start to settle down for you soon.
Kind regards,
Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
