Salvage radiation therapy after radical prostatectomy

My radiation treatments were 37 sessions over almost 8 weeks; primary side effects diarrhea and anal discomfort/pain beginning about 4 weeks into treatment. Resolved completely about 2 weeks following completion of radiation.
My 2 friends seemed to have had similar experiences. I do not think that I have any discernable radiation side effects since treatments ended + 2 weeks.
The Orgovyx side effects were not pleasant, but mild to moderate. And substantially dissipated 4 - 6 mos after last pill.
Hope this is helpful; best wishes.

When you say side effects of Orgovyx was not pleasant - can you elaborate? What were the S.E's?
