I got no warnings nor were any options discussed with me. I just got the standard 44 radiation treatments and Lupron. I had severe pain from the very beginning.

@pesquallie Interesting. My experience was totally different.
When I was initially diagnosed with PCa in April 2012 (at 56y), my first comments to my urologist were “I don’t know anything about prostate cancer so, I’ve got a zillion questions to ask before you cut anything out of me, or bombard me with radiation, or inject toxic chemicals into me……”
From that point on, we had quite a few discussions. We all worked together. Unless I fully understood what was going on and why, we didn’t do it. I had the final sign-off with any action we took. They left the choice up to me to have 20, 28, or 30 sessions. (I chose 28.)
Seems like each center had a different protocol.
