I received proton and hormone therapy in early May. During my treatment, I really didn’t have much in side effects, however in the weeks after, I had diarrhea and trouble urinating, I was prescribed Flowmaxx and take anti diarrheal. I also has issues, from the hormones with ED and dry orgasms. I have been told that I should return to “normal” as the effects wear off. I am finally regaining control of my bowel movements. I also had SpaceOar inplanted and had no issues with that. I was stage 1 intermediate Gleason 4+3/7. It’s been a month since the end and I’m doing well. I really hope that my erections and such come back naturally, as I told my nurse that I do not wish to have to take another pill. Good luck to you.

Thanks for the reply. Was was your PSA pre-treatment? I assume you haven't yet checked post-treatment.

How many cores were positive? 4 out if 12 were positive in my case. Only one 4+3, the rest 3+4.

How long will you be on hormones?
