Glad your getting through it side effect free. Keep doing what you doing and it will be behind you before you know it.

I did 44 and it was around 25 the side effects started - first my bowels (diarrhea) and then later more urgency in peeing. But nothing which really interrupted my life any. Now I am three weeks past my last treatment and the only thing remaining is a weak stream and poor ability to empty my bladder. Flow-max does a good job on that and this should improve in a few months.

Hope this info helps you. You will be done before you know it.

If it starts at 25, then its closer to 33 than 44!!😇

And what is it with these young rad techs, that think Groundhog Day is a holiday??

I walked in and said Groundhog Day 14, tilted heads, is that a holiday they asked, I explained, and no one even knew Bill Murray!! Am I that old???

yeah and I enjoyed educating them on the bands of the 1970s and 80s which none of them knew…….

[Hidden in reply to OldVTGuy]

Deep Purple? What kind of name is that for a band?

[Hidden in reply to OldVTGuy]

What about skin burn, I read it starts 1 to 2 weeks in. Mines not even irritated.

[OldVTGuy]

Never had it. Only side effects I had were some diarrhea for a few weeks and urgency to pee after that. Both have gone away now.
