You've touched on a huge difference between prostate cancer and other cancers. People I know who have had other cancers removed felt BETTER afterwards. With prostate cancer, I felt totally fine before and now, eight months after radiation and three after ADT, I still don't feel right. This makes it sometimes hard to believe that getting treated actually did some good. Mentally, I know it did, but sometimes I don't feel that way in my heart.

Absolutely! I think most of us felt great - right up until we got the news that we weren’t….all downhill after that.
But let’s face it, some other cancers require surgeries worse than ours followed by grueling radiation and chemo usually given simultaneously….talk about feeling like shit?
I guess any cancer - other than having superficial low grade skin cancer removed - is gonna be something life changing. But being dead is also a life change (to the max!) so cheer up. Spring is right around the corner regardless of that mixed up groundhog says…
