Side effects three days post prostate radiation ?
Prostate Cancer | Last Active: 4 minutes ago | Replies (36)Comment receiving replies
28 radiation sessions more-or-less in the middle of 6 months of ADT with Orgovyx for me. I experienced most of the side effects you mention, but yours sound particularly severe - and odd that you're experiencing this right after you've completed your radiation treatments.
I think I would check in with your oncologist's office and see what they have to say. While I was having my radiation treatments, there was a once-a-week "doctor day," when they would go over any side effects I was experiencing and offer suggestions for coping (or, in one case writing a prescription).
Hope you get past this soon!

Thanks. It was strange on the second day to experience what I did especially the testicle sensation. I did have the weekly meeting with RO during radiation. I clearly mentioned my side effects with great emotion. He listened genuinely but had little to add or suggest how to cope with it. This was back in June of 2024. Since then, I met with a urologic oncologist (new to me) within same healthcare system. He and an intern spent almost 1.5 hours with me. Both made me walk out of there feeling pretty good after some creative suggesting for dealing with side effects. I now see him (UO) every 3 months with him being proactive with monitoring my health and side effects. Thus far I think I'm generally done with my RO as well as the initial Urologist as I'm good with UO>

I had the same once a week meeting with R/O at UFHPTI.
As I mentioned to the other poster this is where we (and you did also) went over side affects, questions, concerns, etc. I think whomever he was seeing she hould have gotten the same excellent care needed when having treatments such as these.
