Thanks for the input Jeff. I was told the side effect profile, but like you said, “won’t happen to me” folly was in play. I asked the RO nurse about the urinary issues I was experiencing and my recollection was that she said almost everyone is affected to some degree. I asked her if it was my prostate or bladder or urethra that hurt, and she said all of the above.

I am much improved now, but know enough to realize that radiation damage may rear its ugly head months or years down the road. The select few that make it through treatment with no side effects and a cure are those Kissed by an Angel.
