After 20 radiotherapy sessions I qualified to ring the bell. Just need to get my energy levels up to get back into the workshop.

Thanks guys!!!!!
The thing is that last year I was in the best of health until the doctor told me that I wasnt. I got my blood taken to check my cholesterol levels and he red flagged me for further investigation on my prostate......they found cancer all around it. I was then red flagged for hormone treatment and radiotherapy..
My advice .......if you don't already, get your bloods checked....they can tell a lot about your health.

Thanks Mark. I'm not getting too much workshop time in......did half an hour today and an hour in the greenhouse potting on my veg seedlings. That was like a day's work, but hopefully I will get my mojo back.Well done Alan, that's really good news!

Well done Alan, I can attest to the tiredness. I had 33 cycles and it took about 2 weeks for my energy levels to start to improve.

Melvyn, 33 is a lot...I thought that 20 was never ending. I assume that you are well now?

Alan, apologies for the delayed reply.
I'm on Immunotherapy at the moment. My oncologist suggested 26 cycles total with a treatment every 2 weeks. I've just completed cycle 17 so 9 to go. I finish treatment in September then it's just a case of 3 high contrast CT Scans next year and all being well 2 CT's the following year and then one final scan beginning year 5. If all goes well I'm considered cured at end of year 5. So it's a long haul but the worst is nearly over. Hopefully your energy levels are improving now. I found drinking lots of water helped rise my energy levels, the downside was I peed a lot.
