Struggling to get to the end. RO says he is one of the rare individuals who is ultra sensitive to radiation. They have given him steroids , omeprazole, immodium, bentyl and dietary modifications. This has been much more difficult that the RP in 2019 which he recovered from without a hitch. one more week. It has been difficult to watch him go from totally aymptomatic, athletic and active but with a rising PSA/BCR to the current state of significant discomfort several hours per day, with several hour long painful recurrent BM episodes and much of the night up to the bathroom which leaves him drained and exhausted. He seems to improve some on his no radiation days. He was so bad this week his RO insisted that he take tomorrow off so he can make it through next week. Of course that leaves me with anxiety that the effectiveness has been diminished but I guess that worry is for another day. He is between a rock and a hard place. :0(
