[ellie2211]

have you experienced this after spot radiation? How long did it take you to bounce bounce back?

Answer is not exactly in line with your question. My prostrate radiation from about 5 years ago damaged my bone marrow blood factory. Now have MDS-RS. Still take lupron. Monday my MO said he didn't have anything for me since I was still undetectable regarding my PCa. However my numbers for red blood cells, hemoglobin and platelets continue to decline. My ending will still be from prostate cancer in my mind, although MDS which probably will morph into Acute Myloid Leukemia.

In the meantime. I plan to live each day to the fullest. Do the best you can. Don't be reluctant to ask for help.

thank you for sharing your experience. Living in the present is so important! I'm glad you remain undetectable.
