Did you have any treatment before the radiation?

I had around eight weeks of salvage radiation 3 1/2 years after my surgery. I had it early in the morning and went right to work after, never even noticed it. They are now reducing the number of sessions, but increasing the amount of radiation in each session. That seems to cause some urinary issues for a lot of people. Those issues only last a few months and taking flowmax seems to resolve the problems for most people.

Some of the people that had radiation at the same time I did tell me that it really made them tired and they had to sit in their cars and recover before they could drive home.

Sometimes people have even more severe side effects, but they are not common. Having a barrier like SpaceOAR, Barrigel, or BioProtect can prevent rectal issues that cause some people to have to go multiple times a day or have severe diarrhea.
