My experience was almost identical to yours . I started IMRT in June of this year and finished 7/25. The side effects were minimal and subsided over the following 2 months. During the 6 weeks of treatment, my urgency to pee increased as well as having soft bowel movements. Also had some minimal pain in the groin/ scrotum. Linear Accelerator was an Elekta Infinity . The RO said my 61 year old body handled the radiation treatment VERY well.

Do you know what margins were used for your treatment with the mri elekta linac? Did it automatically shut off if you moved your body? How many treatments did you have?
