@mnburns2000, a belated welcome to Connect. It is helpful to hear from someone who have experience only mild side effects. I look forward to learning more about you. Are you living with metastatic prostate cancer? Have you had other treatments in addition to radiation? How are you doing now?

Yes I have one small spot that my last round of radiation was targeting. Tried cryo-freezing but couldn’t get to the spot. Long time on hormone therapy. Status : living with it. Hormone therapy has difficult side effects. But I’m making progress and the doctor has more things to try if this radiation didn’t kill it. Besides going into my every 3 month appointment to check progress I don’t think about it. 7 years so far. Many more planned
