Radiotherapy

Why did I give this answer?

The Watch and Wait process went on too long. Once my PSA jumped from 6 to 8 it was too late . The cancer had spread to my ribs much to the surprise of the oncologist and the specialist nurse. The Cyber Knife treatment at the end of the course of treatment apparently has also had the effect of creating a non union fracture of a rib. Despite all this, currently I feel fine, still managing golf albeit with reduced strength and stamina. I do understand the true meaning of fatigue. But along with my doctors I remain optimistic.
