What should I expect during 6 weeks of radiation treatment?

Radiation for me was a breeze. It’s about a 90 second process each day. The hardest part was timing my morning bowel movement and keeping my bladder full. I only got rejected off the table twice for too full a bowels once and too empty a bladder another time. I had 8 weeks 6 months after a prostatectomy and almost 4 months into ADT treatment. I actually enjoyed going there each morning. You’d think nothing was being done until you see your blood work during it right after. It’s probably the easiest part of treatments. I think it’s the idea of actively doing something to fight the cancer. You’re going everyday and zapping it, fighting back. Good luck to you James!

Radiation treatment experiences can vary from person to person, but many community members find it helpful to connect with others who have been through similar journeys. Common experiences during radiation therapy often include manageable side effects like fatigue and skin changes in the treatment area, though your medical team will monitor you closely and provide guidance throughout the process. Hopefully, others in this community will share their experiences and tips to help you feel more prepared for the weeks ahead.

A problem I encountered was an over active bladder. Waking up every hour to pee. That along with the initial symptoms of adt treatment was horrific. The doc needs made aware and can prescribe a med for it.

Thank you so after you completed all your radiation treatment how long do you notice your PSA go down?

Your PSA will go down if you have PSA tests in middle to end of your treatment. Raidiation treatment lasts from 11 to 12 minutes each so just try to relax on table and don't move. It's painless but you need to have a full bladder and an empty rectum before you get on table. I didnt eat anything before I got there so good luck hope this helps

Thank you it sure do appreciate it, but I’m still a little nervous
