Solesky . Sounds like your doing the right things here ! The treatments have given you any side effect? ... I fought them off and went walking everyday after treatments of External Beam radiation ( EBRT) of 22 session - No ADT . . I would drive down to Victoria for the week , get zapped once a day , then stay in the Victoria Cancer Lodge . Wonderful food and a very nice room. Free of charge Nurses would check in on me and a great chef who knew how to cook really healthy meals . I only ate Breakfast and dinner , but they had lunch and snacks too ! Man!! many Prostate guys there ...but all sorts of cancers . My treatments were usually at 11 am , then I would walk for 2-3 hours . Tired , but I did it . Loose bowel and a jumpy bladder during treatments , but fine now . ED was an issue after operation and radiation but 80% back to normal now ! after operation I slowly climbed back to 0.14 , that was after 1 year . So radiation , then waited about 10 months , then it started to work ... now at 0.041 . Not quite "off the scale " , but getting close. My father died of prostate cancer 28 years ago now , I was his care giver ....So I have a lot of anxiety around PC myself . I guess thats normal ? God bless Sir ! Keep us in the loop !
