Hi Jim,
Glad to hear you are doing well. I'm assuming you took six month's Lupron for the hormone therapy. I also know that with that drug's side effects often don't manifest for about a month. How long has it been since you got the shot? My therapy is coming up and I'm more concerned about the Lupron than the beam therapy.
How many proton treatments over how much time? Hw long is each therapy?. No one has mentioned this to me. only external radiation , radical prostectomy or radioatvie seed.
I'm starting next week. did you ever have any significant side effects of the therapy?
