As far as I know it is "conventional dose". It can go up to 45 - @jeffmarc will know about that part more than me , but I think it is not unusual. John is very young and doctors do not want to take any chances with his cancer.

I had 39 radiation treatments as well. I only did one shot of the 6 month Lupron. My Urologist knows I won’t do anymore hormone shots even if my prostrate cancer returns! Done!
