Phil,
Thank you so much. Yes, the earlier radiation was to the prostate bed only. Since you just completed what I'm about to begin, please let me know how you experienced the 25 sessions at Sloan, and any advice you have for me. I’m 78, and I have a full summer schedule of activities. Did you, for example, need to curtail some of your schedule due to fatigue?

Honestly, being retired with no kids or grandkids I AM my own schedule😉. Every day revolved around those treatments - wake up, mandatory BM, work out, go to Sloan (3hrs total with travel time), come home, eat dinner, TV and bed. My wife by my side the entire time - now THAT’s true love!
Yes, I was fatigued by the ADT/radiation, but when your life’s at stake you just do what you gotta do.

Fatigue is my biggest issue after all the ADT treatments. Been off of them 5 months now- still have afternoon fatigue. Could be my age of 76. Can’t grow sideburns yet so… I know my testosterone is still way low.
