Sounds good so far. We're on similar schedule for markers - mine go in at 12:30 tomorrow. I'll be glad when that's over.

Good luck with the fiduciary guys!

David that is a great initial response and should indicate you will do very well. Keep up the exercise, do some slight diet modification and you should limit the side effects of both the ADT and radiation.

Thanks for the thumbs up guys ......JNF...hello!....when I went in to see the Uro yesterday , I brought up the HDR subject...wanting his answers to percentages of patients coming back to him for complications after IGRT alone ...and IGRT with HDR`s.....he didn`t seem to want to answer the question , but said he thought the HDR`s would be over kill in my situation and to speak to the Rad doc. soooo....I`ll be getting staged Monday for rads...and go from there ....seems it will come down to how things are going 4-5 weeks into the IGRT........he did the markers today and I feel like a good job done anyway...David

David, sounds like your on the same path as I am. I just finished #29 of 40 fractions today. 11 more to go . Make sure your bladder is full. That by the way has been the most difficult thing about this part of treatment. I've finally gotten it down sort of, I drink 16 oz at 3pm-3:15 pm. I found that if I drank all 16oz at once it would hit me all at once which was not good. I then drink a little 20 minutes before in case they they run long which they did today. Anyways ,Good luck
