Starting Radiation tomorrow

SBRT radiation is definitely harder than IMRT for many sessions. My brother at 75 had SBRT to treat his prostate. He did have urinary issues and needed Flomax for a few months, But after that, he had no issues.

The reaction to radiation varies a lot. I know some people do get fatigue from it, that is not unusual.

Thanks Jeff for pointing out that there is a difference. I feel little bit better now since my husband will have IMRT if needed.
