You mentioned prostate size plays into RT? Can you elaborate on that? Prostate size was not enlarged at all .

If your prostate size is not enlarged I don't think you need to worry. RT turns prostates into a differing thing, so some rad onc procedures are not done when prostate is huge as it makes things worse. At least one less thing to worry if you don't have BPH.

I did the SBRT 5 proton radiation treatment with a 120-gram prostate at Mayo Phoenix. So, I have a very large one and have had no side effects worth mentioning and I am 74.
