6 Month Radiation checkup

Hey Guys,

Next week I have my 6-month follow up with my Oncologist since I finished my radiation.

I was diagnosed at 46, did treatment at 47. I was 3+4 and decided on Brachytherapy and 15 EBRT sessions. No ADT for me given they didn’t think it has spread. But I am still taking 8mg of Flowax (tamsulosin) and cranberry supplements.

Just curious on everyone’s symptoms afterwards. Here are mine:

Overall, I feel great with no significant complications.

I have always wondered if I need the flowmax, but I did forget it for a day once, and I did have a little trouble starting to urinate. But was able to empty fully. Back to normal after I started again.

I do seem if go pee more often, but at the same time I have a full bladder and I have no issues with stopping/starting. I am not getting up through the night.

Bowel movements seem more frequent, but no issues or pain, discomfort.

My overall erections and everything there is 100%, but my orgasms are somewhat smaller and less intense, and the fluid is very watery, and not very much.

This is a weird one… but my eyesight is a little blurry. I had Lasik a few years back and I can’t focus as strong as before. I did see a Dr, and its common with flowmax. It might go away if I stop taking it. But not sure I can.

I will find out my new PSA levels soon, but it was never very high, only around 4.2. Really curious to see this.

It seems that much of this is normal, so I think I have been very lucky.

Just wanted to see your experiences after a few months.

Thanks all.
