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

Posted by paulcalif @paulcalif, Jan 31 10:07am

Question to you who have been through radiation treatment for prostate cancer or have knowledge of the proceedure.
I'm considering some type of radiation treatment for my cancer. My main question is, will I be able to drive myself to and from?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Prostate Cancer Support Group.

Regret the delay...I don't come to the site that frequently. My doctor 14 years ago was Dr. Bush. He remains at Loma Linda, but in what capacity..not certain.

Let just say that in the morning normally about 5 to 7 men were awaiting their "turn" with the "big machine". I would ask thinking about backgrounds and why they selected proton radiation. I recall about 60% or more were doctors/physicians. This fact reinforces my decision proton radiation the best option of me. I have a slow growth centralized right lob; PSA was 6.47 Gleason 3+3 T1. Former Army officer with many deployments..physical was required before and blood work after..so I had PSA results for many years.
