When I was going through radiotherapy, most people were managing OK with it. I went out cycling every day which I enjoyed, and I think the exercise probably helps stave off fatigue.

However, there were a couple of guys who were really struggling with it. One of them hadn't even told his wife that he had prostate cancer - I can't imagine what she thought was going on. I made a point of talking with him when we met up in the radiotherapy waiting rooms.

Cycling isn't going to affect you post-RT gaz although you might want to invest in a prostate-friendly saddle.

I use the following saddle:

It does take a few rides to get used to.

It's no longer available, but if you search for noseless saddles, you'll find plenty more which obviously come out of the same Chinese factory.

Hi Gang,

Bit of good news today. 

I had Mike from Urology at RHH call me to advise that my Bone Scan was clear and they will be contacting me very soon for an appointment to move onto the treatment side. I think that's is fantastic news and feel much happier today.

😄

Jon.
