No, it did not take that long. It was about a month before I went back to the coffee. I did start getting drips at day 310 after radiation and I was leaving a fifty-cent piece size spot in my sheets at night. I used shields and a night pad on my penis for a little over three months. I saw my urologist at Mayo, and he said do Kegels and I did, and it stopped all leaks and everything is great. I would not at this point in time even know I even had radiation done. If I had done some Kegels from the beginning, I probably would not of had any problems at all.
My question somewhat related to this discussion, , I finished my 6 weeks of radiation about a month ago, saw my PC last week for a basic physical, my blood test concerned me , last summer before my surgery my WBC was 8.8 last week it was 2.93 very low for white blood count, PC didn’t seem too alarmed ??? Said let’s test again in 3 months after my Lupron wears off. Anyone know if radiation could cause this ? Sent a message to radiologist maybe supplements could help ??

Yes, radiation can reduce Your white blood cell count. The thing is, that’s usually temporary.
White blood cell counts typically reach their lowest point about 7–14 days after treatment, and most blood cell counts begin to recover and rise on their own within 2–4 weeks after therapy ends.

Same with me….all values including RBC’s/hematocrit are lower and that was 2 months after treatment.
Hope they come back up in time for flu season!
