I see the coffee mug in your picture. When they warn you about caffeine believe them. I had the 5 treatments at Mayo Phoenix and after the first I had my mug waiting for me in the car for the drive home. Got home and did my second mug in my Mr. Coffee with no problem. Second treatment on Wednesday, same routine till about an hour after that second mug and my bladder said, "you dummy you should have listened". Had to pee every fifteen minutes weather there was a full bladder or just a few dribbles. Say goodbye to the coffee for a while till after your radiation treatments are over.

All the best to you. I’m 7 months out of treatment and doing very well. My 2nd set of numbers came out very well and doing well. Recovery is a bit longer than I thought it would be, but my doctors are very happy and I’m feeling better each day. I received 5 radiation treatments and 3 hormone shots. The side effects of the hormone shot are the worst.
Good luck and Godspeed, Brother.

Thanks slick. Congratulations on kicking cancer's ass!

I am hoping the 5 SBRT side effects are minimal, and expecting the 6 months of Orgovyx ADT to be bothersome but manageable.

Looking forward to starting the radiation next week.

Stay Strong Brother.

If you can hold the water they have you drink and don't mind the saline filled ballon up your butt to immobilize your prostate it is a piece of cake. I felt guilty when they had me ring the bell, but I was only driving 35 minutes one way to Mayo Phoenix.
