Thank you for taking the time to answer my post in detail. I have read it more than once and consider it my introduction into this new phase of our lives. The last sentence "“Note “ was very encouraging.

Feel free to contact me as further questions arise, which they probably will.

My side effects were minimal (loose stools; slow urination), but they resolved themselves in 2 - 3 weeks. Careful targeting of the radiation, and separation of the colon from resting against the prostate, were likely the key there.

Now I just have to deal with taking Lupron (fatigue, some lethargy, weakness (noticed largely in the legs), and weight gain around the waist). One risk I'm concerned with is osteoporosis (bone fragility).
