Has anyone experienced shaking walking and bad balance following radiation treatment for Prostate Cancer. Even if they never experienced these problems before.

Actually yes I did. After about the 12th session, I was a bit dizzy and unsteady after finishing that session when I was getting ready to leave that day. The nurse checked me out and I was ok. It repeated maybe 3 more sessions. I thought it may have been eye strain also. The weird thing, for me, is that after the first time, I was always nervous about it repeating. I did see my regular doctor who drew some blood work during that week but nothing abnormal. My RO said it could be just some inner nerves or mental fatigue and that once your done and return back to your normal routine, it’ll just go away. He was correct.
