Fk radiation therapy. I went through so much pain for 3 weeks I almost blew my brains out. Another week and I would have. The cure is worse than the disease. But my PSA is under .05 now. So I’m doing all right. Still, I could never go through that again.

I went through the androgen, then external rad, then high rad 18 needles therapy. My worst memory was the biopsy to tell me I had prostate cancer. I’ve got a friend who had the removal surgery. About the same time span to get through it and the same on going issues. My recommendation is don’t get cancer. Unfortunately we don’t get to vote on it. Hope you continue to do ok. So far so good for me. I’ve seen friends and relatives go through chemo, rad, and surgery. Each had their own cross to bare. Good luck with yours. Regards
