He's stage 3b. He's on elligard injections & Zytiga-oral chemo for 2 years. He also had Spaceoar and markers inserted.
He had 26 rad sessions, finished today. He was not able to maintain a full bladder, so they did a foley catheter which he would clamp before treatment to fill his bladder. That was not a good experience, but did the trick.
He is fatigued, sleeps alot during the day. Burning with bowel movement and urinating. Some hot flashed, but not bad. Overall, the worst was the catheter thing. Without that problem, I think he would have gotten through rad sessions well. Everyone's experience is a bit different. Good luck to you and your husband!
