Questions I should have asked about prostate cancer, but did not

Definitely a good list. Since having radiation and ADT I've learned a lot more and if I could go back I would also ask:
1. What is the machine on which I'm having radiation at your satellite campus. How old is it?
2. How long have your dosimetrists, physicists and mathematicians been planning courses of radiation?
3. Why are you recommending this specific type and course of ADT? What are some of the other choices?

Indeed. I did ask those questions as well. I never got an answer. I subsequently found out that the hospital administering the zaps uses linear accelerators. I found out because I looked it up. And professional competency, at this cancer centre, is just to be assumed. I asked how many brachytherapy sessions the brachytherapy dude had done. I asked which isotope they were using. Still waiting to find out. That’s why I am stuck with endless questions. And being told to “trust the system”. Bollocks.
