Congratulations, Burgess. My husband is starting radiation on Oct. 28. He is getting his second Firmagon shot Thursday. We are not sure what to expect. How did you feel during the radiation? So glad you are feeling well. Looking forward to seeing your posts of zeros.

Here's hoping it did the trick.

I found I recovered quickly from the procedure fast.

Sounds like you're doing great.
