Expected side effects of adjuvant radiotherapy after prostatectomy?

At the ancan.org meeting @soli attended Tuesday one guy made @soli case choice seem mild.
The guy at the meeting has a case of prostate cancer he wants to overwhelm. He’s had a prostatectomy, Followed by radiation and now plans on having chemotherapy. His point of view is that he wants to go all out to destroy the cancer and not have to worry about it ever coming back. That may be a folly but compared to what @soli is doing it’s way extreme.

@jeffmarc oh boy…while I can get where he’s coming from -I believe in being pro-active - he is putting himself at risk with chemo. I doubt that he can find an oncologist who would comply (or an insurance co who’d approve it!) with his wishes but one never knows…

I agree with you Jeff. I was suprised at the volume ot treatment the man already had and plans to have to overwhelm the cancer without taking into account the toxicity and side effects of the various treatment modes and possible impact on the quality of life.,
