Just listened to to his explanation about hat happens to the prostate after proton radiation (He sort of implied any radiation). It shrinks 30 to 40% And if you have hormone therapy that shrinks even more.
With that much left, I wondered if BPH is a possibility after you have prostate radiation, and sure enough, a search of AI says it is possible and it’s not uncommon. Wonderful!

@jeffmarc I would think that since BPH isn’t necessarily related to prostate cancer, that having an enlarged prostate is relative to the size of a normal prostate,
Post-radiation treatment, an enlarged prostate due to BPH would be relative to its 30%-40% “now normal” smaller size.
(I’m still not onboard with taking everything AI says without some background.)
