I had proton radiation 9 years ago after a prostecomy to insure all the cancer was removed. It wasn't. My PSA returned and in 6 months so I've had 3 more rounds of different treatments. Last week I was diagnosed with radiation cystitis. I bleed through the urinary system. The blood clots and causes ED visits to be catheriterized so I can urinate. To help heal the bladder, I'm being referred to 40 consecutive treatments in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber. Bleeding starts now with minimal exercise or even straining during a bowel movement. Right now my cancer is under control (as of today my psa is < 0,05). It's the side effects of the treatments that I'm fighting now. Living with this disease will be a challenge to the end.
