Regarding the affects of radiation. I had 30 rounds of proton radiation. My R/O said to expect fatigue, urination side affects like increase and urgency. Thus from what was told to me by R/Os at Mayo and UFHPTI I would suggest you look at the side affects of Lupron therapy?
What were the side affects you were told about Lupron therapy? I did not have hormone treatments and I assume the Lupron is a hormone therapy. From the side affects you mentioned and from what I have read from other posters on MCC sounds like side affects from the hormone treatments.
These side affects should be discussed with your R/O and your primary care doctors. They can guide you on the probably cause. My hesitation here is that I would have expected your urologist, R/Os, to have gone over the side affects of radiation and lupron therapy with you. That way when side affects do appear you know what the most probably cause is (lupron or radiation) and also what guidance you were given to treat them.
I did not have your posted side affects with 30 rounds of proton radiation. I did have low level fatique, increase urination, increased urgency, dribbling, but all those slowly went away after treatments ended. The difference is I was prepared for them when they happened as was given in depth information on what to expect from the radiation side affects.
Others on MCC can give you a better side affects they got from Lupron Therapy as I did not receive hormone treatments but again for those that did I have seen posts like yours coming from hormone treatments.
Can't thank you enough for your reply. My opinion of the heath care in California should be left for someone that's writes better than myself. I suspected that Lupron was the culprit but was not given any advanced warning [need to know I guess] Just seem strange that two days after completion of Rad. all my side effects intensified. Again thank you so much for taking the time to reply.
