Any diet restrictions with radiation? What were your side effects?

No, I did not.
When originally discussing with the urologist at the time of diagnosis, he suggested I get that if I was doing radiation for the primary / initial treatment. I went with surgery.
When the PSA started to rise, I went to radiation oncologist for salvage radiation treatments (39) and he (the radiation oncologist) didn't recommend it for that treatment.

web265: I gave some details on December 27 but I had the Spaceoar inserted transrectally this morning in Orlando. They also inserted Fiducial marker seeds as an extra backup to mapping with the MRIdian radiotherapy machine but they were in there anyway so why not. They put me to sleep and it was a smooth process. No blood in the urine or any pain. They had a Spaceoar technician, who I guess lives locally, and that person was in the operating room as well. The doctor said my symptoms could be similar to the biopsy which for me was blood in the urine and semen but so far, day one, all good. I do have to be physically careful for 3 weeks with my exercise and object lifting.
