Kym (73) in Darwin, Australia, nearing the end of my 20 ten minute radio-therapy sessions for prostate cancer. Keep your hydration up, during your treatment course. Watch-out in the second and third weeks, for severe diarrhoea and resultant dehydration and a low blood sugar level. Have some cookies or a meal, plus a tea or large glass of water, after each session. That way, you’ll restore your hydration and blood-sugar level - and avoid dehydration and shock, which I had in the afternoon of day 8, causing a trip to my local hospital, with 2 days in the Emergency Dept on a saline drip.
Five years ago that was not true. The latter stages of the 20 session treatment were painful combined with incessant urge to urinate every thirty ,minutes or so made the last ten days of the treatment really difficult and it every once of my won’t power to continue. It has been worth it but alone it is really difficult.
Yes, I recently completed 20 rounds of radiation. The most difficult part was being there at the same time everyday, 5 days a week. Also, emptying out your bowels just before treatment can be a hassle. And of course filling you bladder with water maybe about 30 minutes prior.
@frankwoods4532 My radiation treatment didn't keep,, PSA dropped to 0.19 but in less than 9 months it skyrocketed to 4.25. I'm hearing a lot of different reasons 😕 and none of them are good. Schedule for a PMSA PET SCAN,next week. The regular skeleton imaging scan and soft tissue CT scan didn't show anything 😮
@dalebishop5936 so far none that are noticeable, however they informed me prior that those side effects you spoke can happen years after treatment. I'm coming up on a year and so far so good. My PSA has began to raise slightly, my oncologist and urologist said they will keep a close eye on it, and we hoping this is just a bump/bounce and it will go down right after it peaks
must say that I have enormous respect for you Dr kanayo Peterson considering the manner in which my wife receive her complete treatment for HIV infection and cancer, thanks for coming to my rescue sir.
The title was Side Effects with Radiation Therapy for Prostate Cancer and he didn't really mention Urinary problems, rectal bleeding, burning or any other problems. This seems like a misleading video. And all treatments are done by technicians, not doctors.

Yes, he is a good salesman. There are side effects especially several years after. I had that treatment, now wish I hadn't.

Was there any lingering or permanent side effects like leakage or bowel trouble after treatment ??

Well probably a radiologist promoting radiology…yeah technicians do it and hopefully are very well trained but …
If they treat your prostate do you end up with terribke sweats like hormine treatment does?
No!
And then what happens two years later when they are impotent?
talk more about after because are some side effect
This extended guy, is he the doctor?
Sort of skipped over the whole topic of side effects...hmmnn
Side effects appear several years AFTER you compete treatment.... that's the problem.
Like peeing fire bro!
