Considers that radiotherapy took away a lot of the pain he had been experiencing.

 



But the bone metastases it can move about it a bit you know so every now and again you have to get a check up. At first I had a lot of pain in my lower back and the pelvis area, my shoulders, and I got radiotherapy for that which took a lot of the pain away.

Could you explain what that was like to have some radiotherapy?

The radiotherapy was, it's painless you know you just lie there and they give you the radiotherapy.  You can feel a bit tired after you get it....

Did you just have the one treatment or more, how many times?

Well I had one in my right, the right side of my pelvis at the back and one in my left at the back and both shoulders and it did ease it up a lot.
