I did 39 sessions 5 days per week. No side effects for first 3 weeks or so then tiredness and difficulty w urination for the balance of treatments and continuing. Flomax works for the pee issue but makes me dizzy on occasion. After treatment the tiredness became worse and the bowel issues began. No accidents but some quick walks to the loo. I requested a "Space Oar" pre IMRT but was told they didn't do that.
The results were very encouraging despite the lack of "excellence ".
The "no SpaceOar" and inattention to pre radiation test results caused us to apply to Mayo (2hr drive) where we discovered "excellence ".
The IMRT was pretty easy and turned into part of a daily routine.
Good luck . Questions? Ask away.
