I was told, “It’s not unheard of but it is rare.”
Let me also add to my previous status. I am better than I have been in years except for the constant pain, I guess you just get used to it.

I am in salvage radiation now and this thread is making me woozy. I was told of “possible” complications such as frequent or burning urination, perhaps hematuria but you poor guys are on a whole different level! I’m at my 17th tx today out of 25 and just yesterday my RO told me that if I have no symptoms at this point ( I don’t) I probably will be OK barring any unforseen complications.
I did take his comments with a large grain of salt, knowing that symptoms may arise in weeks, months or years. But I know the DRs need to project a positive attitude so I get it.
Sorry you guys are going thru this - nobody can predict what will happen to every individual getting radiation but we all take our chances when we hear the word ‘cancer’ and hope for the best.
