I had salvage radiation, which is pretty much identical to adjunct radiation. It was 3 1/2 years after my prostatectomy when my PSA started to rise. I had 7+ weeks of radiation.

I would have the radiation in the morning And go right to work after and work a full day. I never had any side effects. Some people have fatigue others have some urological problems, None of those ever bothered me,
