Strange results.

I had a metastasis wrapped around my L4. They zapped it in three separate sessions. They were trying to avoid damaging the bone,

I was 76 at the time.

I had no side effects at all from the radiation. After the treatment , I noticed nothing in my back, I had no back pain or fatigue. Within two months, my PSA dropped back to undetectable.

It is Interesting how side effects very. I wonder if it’s due to technique. They did have me take 2mg of dexamethasone before the treatment. That may be the reason I had no fatigue. Did your doctor prescribe any steroids before the treatment?

@jeffmarc - Hi Jeff...nope, no drugs. Arrive, lay down, get zapped, go home. Pretty wiped out today too. Was going to get the tractor out and mow the lawn but it will have to wait till tomorrow.
