Proton Therapy: any long term side effects? Any regrets?

@jc76 So you had Proton beam therapy prior to, or instead of, radical prostatectomy? You mention seminal vesicles, and they are usually removed with the prostate since they will no longer be needed with the prostate. They have co-functionality.

My treatment plan was the same at two different medical facilities. It was radiation with no hormone after Decipher came back low risk.
Seminal vessels are hit by radiation regardless of which type you get. I did not have RP. So a lot of us will have damage to our seminal vessels. I now have dry orgasms and found out from my RPs that is quite common.
