  • Hello chrisgeorge and welcome to Cancer Chat,

    I hope you won't mind I have slightly edited your title so that it is more easily identifiable by any of our members who have Crohn's Disease and have had experience of radiotherapy and I hope they will be along soon to share how radiotherapy treatment might have affected them.

    We also have some information on our website on radiotherapy for prostate cancer which you can find here. It might be worth getting in touch with the specialists who are looking after your Crohn's and asking them whether they think radiotherapy would have an effect on your condition.

    You are also welcome to give our nurses a call on this free number 0808 800 4040 -their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm and I am sure they will be happy to answer any questions you may have on radiotherapy.

    I hope the treatment goes well for you and that you will get to meet others here who have been in a similar position before.

    Best wishes,

    Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
