My dad found he had prostate cancer just over a year ago and was swiftly treated with both hormones and radiotherapy. He was originally mid-way on the Gleeson scale and his PSA was about 6.0. Now it seems he was successful, with regular examinations and PSA test results that are constantly and drastically falling (now 0.2 ish).
The only ill effects from his treatment has been irritable bowel syndrome.....constipation, and previously diarrhoea. He is wondering if this will likely be a life-long symptom, or if there is a chance these symptoms will eventually go away?

I've been through both HT and RT and my bowel problems disappeared.
