@jc76 It does help to be forewarned of potential side effects so you don't doubt yourself or the treatment if/when such untoward consequences occur. I've learned to lean into my body's need to rest, sometimes taking even two "cat naps" a day to allow my body to heal internally.
Do you feel you're back to baseline now?

In regard to recovery from the prostate cancer radiation treatments, YES.
It took a few months for fatigue to go away and about 2.5 years for side affects to go away. I do feel I am back to baseline. I just got my PSA test in April and was undetectable.
I was told during my treatments to try and keep my exercising up and did so. I was lucky that my treatments worked and don't have that worry like a lot of others than their PSA levels went up or their side affects were still bothersome.
