Solesky - you have a great medical team it appears - you are blessed ! . That is special . Also ,Sound like yoru well on your way . You got that Portugal trip in before you Radiation? How many treatments do you need ? The bladder is always an issue with Radiation , a 'jumpy bladder" can be common at times ...it will subside in months ahead . Sometime Bowel issues too Hang in there , you have this 100% ! I had 22 sessions in Victoria , Vancouver Island , 2 years ago . This was after having the operation 1 year prior to that . PSA did not go to zero , so at 0.14 I got those 22 sessions. Now my PSA over the last two years went from 0.14 , then to 0.11, then 0.076 , then to 0.052 , now as of two weeks ago it is 0.041 . It takes time for MOST radiation to work . God Bless you ! James on Vancouver Island .

Thanks for the support James and congrats on your great results, I can only hope for numbers like you. All of my Dr's told me to go on the trip and they'll schedule radiation around it, had my spacerOAR put in the Friday I came back from Portugal and the radiation started 2 weeks after that, I've had 10 so far, they told me I would need 28. My Dr. told me they would wait about 3-4 months after radiation is finished before they know anything concrete. Continued good health to you.
