I’ve seldom heard from people that said SBRT radiation had no side effects at all. Urinary issues are so common it’s just crazy they say 10 to 20%, but I wouldn’t think it’s so low. Maybe they’re just including people that only had a month or two of discomfort as no side effects.
It could be that only the people that have problems end up in online meetings or forums like this.

Agree totally with “Only the People” comment by yourself. Centers of Excellence have thousands of men go through their Prostate Machine every year. Lots of success stories. People that end up on Support Forums I think fall into niche categories. People that have had failed treatments, or at least what they considered failed treatments. This first group I think can lead many to believe that it is all Doom and Gloom, when in fact the Medical Centers are doing overwhelming good. People like myself that once diagnosed does everything they can to educate themselves. I have done so for 15 years. And there are people like yourself that are all about helping any newcomers to the Club. I am trying to be more like you and less centered on myself.
