How can I manage radiation side effects with exercise and diet?

It's wonderful that you've taken such a proactive approach by working with both a trainer and nutritionist during your radiation treatment. Managing side effects through exercise and proper nutrition can indeed play an important supportive role alongside medical treatment, and many patients find this combination helpful for maintaining their overall well-being during this phase of their journey.

Dear SWFL E — You da’ man! Doing it right with trainer and nutritionist. Importance of fitness and diet has been sinfully ignored for decades by the U.S. medical-industrial complex, as a multitude of recent under-publicized studies and clinical trials demonstrate. But why would they advocate measures that make PCa patients healthy and potentially not in need of their max-revenue procedures? Why would their eyes not light up at the sight of another obese, slovenly, sedentary patient? I’m not saying that health and fitness will melt away the many unwanted “side” effects of PCa treatment, but I am saying they can ease or resolve some of these effects such that we can get through each day with fewer issues that are less disruptive. Keep it up!
