Interesting that they have changed how they’re doing the salvage radiation with fewer visits. I know I went through seven weeks of treatments, but felt nothing. No issues at all after each treatment.

It would be interesting to know if you actually do feel something as a result of them having a higher radiation dose. Did they tell you there would be more side effects? What did they tell you that you should expect to feel?

I got 2.5 years of undetectable tests after radiation. Hopefully yours will end in remission.

Hey Jeff, they just gave the usual gamut of side effects: diarrhea, weak urinary stream, inability to urinate, leakage, urgency, fatigue…
Or maybe nothing.
I would imagine it’s very similar to the side effects of cyberknife since the doses are not quite that high but higher than your 7 week stint. Will let you know…
