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

Hello, As for the question about being able to drive to and from your radiation appointments. I had 30 appointments and thank the lord for my wonderful wife, she was with me each day I went. Many days I was just to weak after the appointment to be able to drive back home. She would handle the driving on those days. I am now 14 months since my last radiation appointment and I chose to stop the Lupron after the first 6 month injection due to the side effects it created. I am happy to say that aside from any sex drive my life has returned to somewhat normal! Best wishes to you as you start down the path of treatment.

@tlems
I think your weakness came from the Lupron not the radiation treatments. Although there will be some fatique with radiation.

I think the poster was asking about radiation treatments and driving not the hormone treatments side affects which could affect driving as well as many other activities.

@paulcalif was asking only about radiation treatments not hormone treatments and radiation.
