I was diagnosed with PC in Sept of 22. I was a 4+3/7 Gleason, stage 1 intermediate. My surgeon, after testing a core for how aggressive it was, told me that surgery would not be a viable option and sent me to an oncologist, who wanted to do brachytherapy but my pubic bone was blocking access to some of it. After that he suggested radiation. I decided, after a lot of thought and research, elected for Proton therapy with 5 blasts over two weeks. I also got ADT, 3 shots total. Everything went well and at my last consult with the surgeon, he congratulated me for having the lowest PSA of all the patients in the practice and ever. The only issue I had with the radiation was having to learn to go to the bathroom. For about a week, if I needed to piss I had to sit because I could go #2 as well. The ADT was another thing. After the first two shots, within 24 hours I felt like total shit, it took out my testosterone almost completely. I made thru the treatments but now I’m fighting the side effects of being chemically castrated. And I’m one of the lucky ones, whose testosterone level hasn’t returned to normal, among other issues, like bone loss and a smaller penis size, low libido and dry orgasims. All I can say is, do your research and welcome to the club Brother.
