Hi,
Wondering if anyone else could share their experience regarding coming off Radiation Therapy 26 treatments ending 4 weeks ago. And Lupron ADT ending after 3 months at the same time.
What are the things ( side effects ) to look forward to for a testosterone comeback and other positive things to look forward to.
Being treated for a Urinary Tract Infection - right now on antibiotics.
Anxiety an ongoing issue but dealing with it.

I'm now seven months past the end of radiation and the only remaining symptom I have is some bilateral hip pain. I was terrified that this was cancer metastasizing but was reassured that this is totally normal. It's not agonizing pain or even constant, just occasional.

My other symptoms--tiredness, no appetite, burning urination, difficulty starting urination--lasted about two months after I finished, improving a little bit every week. These symptoms are all gone now. Fortunately, I never had any bowel symptoms either during or after treatment.
