Thanks.

I went into it with my eyes open. With my stage-4 diagnosis in 2021, I told them wanted to fight, so I got 60 gy of SBRT to my prostate (about the maximim allowed) in addition to my other treatments.

It's good that the radiation spread a bit beyond the prostate to catch any nearby cancer, but that also meant taking some collateral damage. I can live with that.
