Radiation cystitis and radiation proctitis. Gross hematuria. Lots of bleeding and blood clots. Hyperbaric oxygen chamber sessions. Erroded urethra. Urethroplasty . Total incontinence and the list keeps growing. Only been 4 years since 35 radiation treatments. Good luck.

Hey bud, so sorry for all that you’re going through. Makes me nervous for what’s in store. But everyone is SO damn different. Some guys here have zero side effects and others, like you, hit the freakin jackpot and get the most and the worst. I’ve come to believe that it’s all luck - both good or bad - and nothing we do can control it. ‘Some guys get all the luck, some guys get all the pain’. Prescient words from Rod Stewart - also a prostate cancer survivor.
I wish better days ahead for you, Bud.
