Second opinion for husband's stage 4A prostate cancer? And update

I’m on Orgovyx and Zytiga as well; going on 5 months. As long as I exercise each day the side effects aren’t too bad.

I’ve had IMRT. Not sorry I chose it, but have wondered if I would’ve had less side effects with proton therapy. A consult with a radiologist specializing in each might be helpful in making a decision.

Since my situation is so similar to that of your partners, don’t hesitate to send me a direct private message if there’s anything I can help you with or you have any questions Did you think I might be able to answer from my experience.

Bob

I had SBRT, which is somewhere in-between IMRT and Proton in terms of precision.

Despite some side effects, in retrospect I have no regrets about getting radiation therapy that affected a wider area — the less precise it is, the more likely it will catch something they missed.
