It was 3 1/2 years after my surgery before my PSA hit .2 and they set me up for salvage radiation. I had eight weeks of it and had no side effects at the time. Six years later, I started having incontinence issues which have gotten worse in the six years since the problem started, But 12 years later, that’s the only problem I’ve had.

Good to hear you’re having 37 sessions. That means they’re using less radiation which causes fewer side effects. I’m 78 now and I’ve been on ADT for eight years, and undetectable for the last 25 months since I started using Nubeqa.

You were really early in the treatment cycle and should definitely live a long time without having to worry about prostate cancer taking you out.

@jeffmarc Have you
been on ADT for eight years or off and on for eight years? Just curious as my oncologist said he might continue to keep me on ADT after radiation therapy.
