Low fiber diet for salvage RT to pelvic lymph node basin questions

@michaelcharles By "radiation diet," did you mean "diet from beginning to end of radiation treatment"? Before giving me my Orgovyx (ADT) prescription, two weeks prior to start of my SBRT radiation, the pharmacist prescribed me a diet (foods to avoid). Near the end of my 5-fraction treatment, I asked my oncologist how long I need to follow the diet. I was told as long as I'm in Orgovyx; we'll if can stop AT after 8 or 12 months. Is this diet too restrictive compared to other pharmacists and radiation oncologists recommend?

I cannot imagine what your oncologist was thinking - that just makes no sense. Sometimes drs don’t listen closely when you ask questions and simply blurt things out.
I am sorry they have confused you on this but ADT and diet have ZERO in common.

Radiation diet to me meant while you were undergoing radiation. Had nothing to do with Orgovyx or other ADT regimens.
Because gas is an issue for radiation treatment (mostly full bladder; mostly empty bowels), the diet for tx has no fiber, which is different from how I usually eat.
So I joke that a double whopper with cheese and fries, hold the pickle and lettuce, 3 times daily, is perfect.
I know of no dietary recommendations related to ADT other than try to a "healthy" diet.
Best wishes.
