Questions about radiation for prostate cancer: Can I drive myself?

My husband drove to work after radiation treatments

Thank you for the reply. Do you know what kind of radiation treatment he had?

I had SBRT and absolutely one can drive oneself.

Are you glad you went with that procedure? I'm considering that too.

They gave me the Image Guided Radiation Treatment (IGRT)for 28 days. I drove back and forth, easily, but always napped a lot before and after. And pay attention to bowel and bladder instructions. So far, the IGRT has been the easiest part my treatment plan.

Absolutely. I was 4+3=7 in one core, 3+3 in one other, with a Decipher of .84. Dr gave me 5 fraction of 7.25 grays with a boost to 40 gray at the primary lesion. Also used urethral steering to minimize radiation "hot spots" to the urethra to minimize GU side effects. Had a Barrigel spacer placed. I am on Orgovyx for 6 months. Last SBRT was Dec 28. I am essentially normal with a couple nightly moderate hot flashes. Currently on the second week of a SCUBA trip off Honduras......I am a lucky, appreciative guy. Any questions please let me know.
Stay Strong Brother

You guys are giving me hope!! Thanks for your replies!!

I recently finished 1 month of daily prostate radiation at MSK . I found that I could easily drive the 45 min,. but, my wife insisted on driving and honestly it was better. I had to have a full or nearly full bladder at treatment time so I would empty my bladder before leaving and then drink a bottle of water on the way to treatment. You will find you own system. Good luck

Well I now know it's possible to drive myself. Thank you.

I had Cyber Knife radiation treatment, five treatments in nine days. First week after involved moderate discomfort in urination and constipation and not getting too far from a bathroom. After that, starting getting better and after a month was back to normal. Highly recommend.
