Radiation of the Prostate bed
by nick1313, Sep 23, 2009 11:15PM
I am scheduled tomorow for my first radiation treatment of my Prostate Bed. I had a RP 6 years ago.
I went 4 years with psa at .001. Then last year it hit .14 then one month ago it reached .2. The .2 started a series of tests. Bone scan, Abdominal MRI with and without contrast. Everything came back negative.
When I had my prostate removed 6 years ago my gleeson was 6.
My queston is this? For those of you that have had the thirtysomething treatments of radiation, What can I expect?
I'm told incontinence, ed, and perhaps rectal bleeding. AM I MISSING ANYTHING ON THE LIST?
Thank you,
Nick
