Some of you may know I was diagnosed with prostate cancer a while ago.  Quite a while, in fact.  Anyhow, due to many different things, treatment has been delayed until recently.  TBH, I could write a book about it but that's something I can't be bothered with now.

Anyhow, the good news is the treatment is under way and the specialist says it's all focused on getting the thing cured, not simply treated.  I'm not suitable for the most simple and effective procedure - removal - so I'm having another one, external beam radiotherapy.  That begins with a course of monthly injections to decrease my testosterone, which also shrinks the prostate, making it more amenable to the next stage, which is high intensity X Rays directed at the site.

Apart from the injections, it's totally non invasive, although it does carry some significant side effects, some of which I'm already "enjoying".

Anyhow, the good news is, the treatment is under way and the last round of tests show that nothing has worsened over time, so I should be cancer free by this time next year.
