A link to this article showed up in one of my prostate cancer newsletters that I receive. There’s a link to the original study report in the article, and it’s way over this layman’s head to make heads or tails of it in a brief read-through before my zapping session.
I didn’t dig deep enough to see if this applies equally to primary radiation therapy and salvage radiation therapy (because it’s not yet approved for use and too late for me).
A new study suggests that unwanted side effects of radiation treatments for prostate cancer could be reduced by the common steroid betamethasone.

Thanks for this little tip re steroids and RT.
Mate I’ve sent it off to my RO straight away and popped the question … “Why not give it a go?”. I’m sure I’ll be rebuked, I’ll let you know!

It will be interesting to see what the RO says.

Hi Dan, flew it past my RO but she confirmed as it is in lab stage it can’t be applied by her to me as part of my scheduled treatment . Cheers, Peter, Australia.
