@michael219 Michael, When did you have your Proton treatment done? Any long term affects that you are experiencing?

@jesse65, I received my Proton treatment in Q1 2023. I have not had any long-term effects, at least none that I am aware of! 🙂
I had some fatigue during the weeks of treatment, and if I recall correctly, it lasted a short time. Other than that, no other issues!!

It will be 5 years since I had SBRT Proton treatments in September. No hip pain to speak of except the pain there that I had prior to the treatment. Very low testosterone and leaking has just started.

@dandl48 same question, are you finishing side affects from your treatment, or are you just starting to have side affects after treatment?
