Well done, Phil.
When I had radiation (not for prostate) I was told to eliminate antioxidants because they work to slow down the replication of the cancer cells. And radiation works best on cells that are replicating quickly.
I don't know if that is still considered true.

Yup, it is. Radiation causes oxidation, which is part of the destructive process. If you take anti-oxidants you inhibit that process, so you don’t really want them.
Probably should stay off them even after treatment since the process continues for months.
