Hello, I had 25 sessions of hypofractionated treatment to prostate bed and pelvic nodes - total 10,500gy. However, no isolated metastases were treated.
Also did 6 months Orgovyx. His treatment is almost identical to mine and I had no problems (except for the bowel challenge!).
That said, we are all truly different and his side effects could vary from zero to severe - and no one can predict what they will be.
Hopefully, he will be in the vast majority with minimal short term SE’s and nothing more.
Phil

@heavyphil Thank you so much. He has one PSMA-positive lymph node, so they decided to do SIB on it simultaneously with the radiation. I have done some research on side effects so that I am aware of them. I hope he’ll tolerate the side effects well.
