When I had my consultation prior to treatments begining I must have spent an hour with a PA. He went over what is common side affects and less common side affects and what to expect. They (UFHPTI) like Mayo have a portal system and he asked me to use it to ask any questions or report and side affect I needed help with.

Having prostate cancer is such a dramatic impact on your mental and physical health. I have empathy when someone on MCC does not get the same excellent care I received. I had similiar expereriences with other providers outside of UFHPTI and Mayo. It makes me appreciate the care givers I have at UFHPTI and Mayo.

I think you asked me about hormone shots side affects in your post. I did not have hormone treatment shots. I cannot comment on my personal experience with that. I know many posters have had the hormone treatments and would be best if they pass on their personal experience with that treatment.

From what my R/Os explained to me during my initial consultations and from ohters on MCC that have had hormone treatments it does sound like your side affects are from the hormone treatments. But that does not mean they could not be from radiation as every one is different.

Radiation damage is culmative (from my R/Os) and more and more damage is done and body reacts to that damage. As I mentioned my R/Os stated common to get fatique and is usally mild to medium. My R/O went over nutrition, supplements, exercise, to help prepare for post treatments preperations, during treatments and after treatments.
