I am not sure what type of radiation you’re going to have.
I had IMRT salvage radiation for seven weeks and had absolutely no side effects from it.
Some people have fatigue others have urinary tract issues.
If you’re talking about SBRT to the prostate that can cause some urinary issues. I know a few people, including my brother that needed Flomax for a few months after that radiation. Some people have other issues with diarrhea.
If you’re having IMRT or EBRT It depends on how many sessions you’re having, I had almost 40 but these days they do it in 20 or so days because they give you more radiation every day. This does impact some people, more than those that have 40 sessions.
The thing is because nobody’s the same there’s no way of knowing how you are going to react.
When I switched from Lupron to Orgovyx I did didn’t get any hot flashes for five months, Then they started with a vengeance. If they’re really bothering you at night getting that wave device that I use really does stop them from happening at night. Check out Embrlabs.com, They have a 60 day moneyback guarantee.
I’ve written instructions out for how to configure the best way for both day and night so if you do get one get back to me.
I think I am having the EBRT..prob 40 or so sessions starting late Sept...I have 4 areas on prostate and 2 pelvic lymph nodes...
so can I ask what your diagnosis was ?? you seem to be holding up very well...I think your advice and exp is helpful since you have been dealing with PC for a while.. but good news is you are still here..hope that life for you is returned somewhat to your normal..I am not there yet but feel more hopeful now than I was late May thru early August- a new record low period in my life..and I have had a few- not from cancer but other things...PC diagnosis and being mostly abandoned by my urologist was very tough
