steady022, Starting radiation in a few weeks. Just had the first of two three-month hormone (Lupron) injections and will undergo a gold seed implant just prior to IMRT. Still worried about the side affects of ED and colon and bowel problems that could occur from the radiation. Any words of wisdom from someone that has undergone the treatment? Has your PSA number reduced? I am relying on prayer and the LORD for my healing, but following the advice and treatment plans of my Doctors. RichardAView Thread
