Thanks for the help . Those 25 External Beam Radiation ( EBRT) you have scheduled will work ! I found with my 22 sessions it did indeed work , as I am at 0.056 now from 0.14 ( next PSa test is in 2.5 weeks) ....but remember the radiation will knock it down almost immediately , but the lasting effects of radiation it seems to take at least 6-9 months . thats when it seems to kill off the most cells . So , radiation of Pelvic area bed is very good , it just takes time . Let me know how your are doing when you take it . Im interested and hopeful for you . The radiation itself is easy ... you get a little bit of a jury bladder and bowel though - so bring Imodium with you and , get lots of walking and exercise in on the days you have radiation. Seems to help with fatigue and effectiveness ! God Bless Sir ! James on Vancouver Island

Hey James, thanks for the info! The non-gassy diet is gonna be the hardest thing for me as I eat tons of corn, beans, cauliflower,etc. Constipation usually follows if I don’t ever since my surgery 5 yrs ago. No DR has been able to shed any light on this but I recently found the term ‘anismus’ which is a pelvic floor disorder sometimes caused by pelvic surgery….duh?? No one ever knew this?!
But I guess the radiation will fix that from what I’ve heard from you and others😂.
BTW, we visited Vancouver for the 85 World’s Fair -just a spectacular city! Did not get over to the Island due to some ferry issues they were having but I’ve heard it’s sort of a paradise on earth. So keep on hiking and soaking up all that natural beauty and positivity - it’s better than any drug or treatment devised by man.
