Fiducial markers- are they necessary?

@surftohealth88 Frankly I didn't realize they use Fiducial markers if you don't have a prostate. They can do an overlay without pins. Most people freak and scan at .2 and often come up zero lights so they carpet bomb the area which is what I did. I would say live your best life one day at a time as if he is cancer free and then take action if he pops a number . The side effects of radiation can be terrible and stay with you the rest of your life. I still have them 8 months after radiation. Somewhat diminished but can still be problematic. Much worse than the RP. Don't miss the gifts of today by worrying about tomorrow which isn't promised. Best wishes, Chip

Thanks so much for your reply and giving me your insight 💖😎. I really appreciate it. Yes, perhaps it is time for me to relax somewhat and just go with the flow. One really can not predict anything with certainty about PC's future whims, at least THAT part IS certain lol 😋.
I am so sorry to hear that you still have some side-effects from radiation 😞 and yes, we were aware that radiation is not benign thing (I avoid even simple X-rays whenever I can) and that is why we chose RP instead of RT among other reasons and why we are hesitant to do adjuvant. Luckily doctors advised us to wait, so we are feeling much better. Actually, my hubby was feeling great all along lol, he has zero "worries" in general but I, as his "Yin", worry alllll the time ☯️😋 ! We are opposites in general but in absolutely complementary way 🥰
Wishing you all the best 🍀😊
