Have after effects from cancer treatment

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer 22 years ago (1998) and I understand that radiotherapy wasn't very accurate then. I was told that they couldn't cut it all out because they 'might miss a piece' so it was best to go for radiotherapy. I was tattooed in three places and had 105 bombardments of radiotherapy. It's now affected my bowels and waterworks. It didn't straight away but I'm feeling the impact more now. I can't control when I need to go to the toilet and have to wear pads. I've had surgery to try and fix it but it's not made much difference. They did warn me it might happen and that radiotherapy wasn't very accurate back then. I'm also still having appointments now to try and help with the issues I'm still having because of the treatment. I have my PSA check regularly and it has started going back up again but they are keeping an eye on it. I've been very fortunate though - the care I had was okay, it's just the after effects I have now.
