Unexpected leakage
Now, 11 months after I finished 42 sessions of
IMRT
, I am starting to get more frequent urinary urgency and some leakage if I don’t address the urge promptly. I assume this is secondary to my radiation, but why is there almost a year delay in onset? I have been on Flomax for a year.

My question - could the
IMRT
be causing this or the lupron I took for a year?

Cabazitaxel,Cytoxan or Comfort Care after dismissal from Lu PSMA Vision Trial
Although hormone therapy was the obvious way to go if PC was outside the capsule at that time, his innovative RO at UTSW Hospital,Dallas noted his great health,diet,supplementation and attacked the lone metastasis with 44 sessions of
IMRT
which was risky but common practice today.

Knowledgeable (Experienced) Opinions Sought
Control group gets
IMRT
to zap primary tumor (prostate gland, and in my case seminal vesicles), and ADT. Extra treatment group gets that plus individual Mets zapped. I’m in the former group.

Update on my disease: <0.1 PSA today
. - image-guided
IMRT
, 38 treatments, started April, finished June 18. That brings us to today. I feel extremely lucky to have such a good result at this point. I think my care at Johns Hopkins and locally has been outstanding.

An Update On My Father's PCa - Test Results/Treatment Plan
His recommended course of treatment is 8 weeks of
IMRT
(after 8 weeks of ADT) and 2 years of ADT and 3 month intervals for monitoring PSA levels. ADT would be Bicalutamide and Eligard. I asked for a PET scan and he said there was no clinical reason to do so.

anastomosis Treatments choices
One RO recommends SBRT to that spot ( I had
IMRT
) to the prostate bed 2 years ago so I am worried of radiation again. Another RO looking into the possibilities of freezing it. You am very nervous about which one I should do Thanks

IMRT and Slow Urination
Only 3
IMRT
treatments and I seem to be experiencing slower urination. Two questions. 1) anyone experience this after prostate radiation? 2) I’m currently on .4 mg Flomax daily. Are others here taking more?

3DCRT Vs IMRT after Mastectomy
Also, I read
IMRT
is more safer than 3DCRT in higher doses, but doctor said completely other way around and the justification was that
IMRT
is not recommended for MRM cases. Can you please let me know about this

ADT, EBRT, and Brachy Boost
Completed EBRT (
IMRT
) and brachy boost in January. Continuing on Lupron. Last of 3 month doses recently. The nightly hot flashes are a bummer. Flash, covers off, cool down, covers on...repeat every 90 mins. Ugh. Plus all the other nasty side effects. Whew. But!

Anyone had experience of VMAT (RapidArc) treatment?
Appears that the
IMRT
will in fact be VMAT (RapidArc) which appears to be more focused than standard
IMRT
and therefore, a reduced number of sessions (20 have been quoted Vs 40+ for standard
IMRT
).
