When you have seven or eight weeks of radiation, it’s almost always IMRT. Sometimes it’s called EBRT but it is not SBRT, which is done in about five sessions and they really have not been doing SBRT salvage radiation Other than in clinical trials.

The incontinence started six years after radiation and nine years after a prostatectomy. It’s probably the two things combined that caused the problem.

Yes, it was not just a surprise, but very annoying when I started having leakage and needed to put in a thin pad. Now, if I’m really active, I can fill a thick pad in two hours
