1st, I am not a MD, and my Rad Onc prescribed 37 IMRT photon radiation treatments to pelvic floor (25 included the pelvic lymph nodes).
66.6 gy (1.8 per session).
I note on this site that others received fewer radiation treatments, but higher doses per tx.
During the 2d half of tx, I had some bowel issues; increased frequency, some diarrhea and some irritation/pain. All resolved 2 weeks after tx ended.
I also had 4 mos of ADT Orgovyx, and the common ADT side effects.
My input would be to establish that the PSA is rising and discuss txs and side effects with your Rad Onc and/or Med Onc.
