What side effects have you experienced from SBRT for prostate cancer

I had 11 cores 3 + 3. And one core 3+ 4 (only 5% was a 4). PSA was 4-5. No cribform or perinureal invasion. None escaped prostate.

Was investigating surgery vs SBRT.

Then watched video by Dr Laurence Klotz some (suggested in this site) about active surveillance. (AS). Changed my thinking.

They asked why jump into radical treatment with low intermediate cancer.

Met with my urologist and scheduled a decipher test to be run on my biopsy samples.

If low results I will do AS. Urologist agrees.

If high I will do SBRT with spaceOAR gel.

Thanks for input, unfortunately active surveillance is not an option for me. My PSA was eight in November and by February it jumped up to a 12
Wishing you the best
