What I have noticed post proton (12 months out) is arthritis-like activity in hands. Active person, 63, nothing else going on medically but struggling to open a jar of peanut butter on occasion. Maybe a coincidence or my imagination.

Curious. What was your Gleason score. Will have SBRT in October but on the fence with ADT. I am 4+3, PSA 5.0, contained in prostate yet 6/12 cores 4+3, 3/12 cores 3+4. Mayo and others are suggesting 4 mos. ADT yet with new research that is being debated.
