haven`t checked in for a long time. Just want to say that Im so happy I chose the radiation treatment with 6 month Lupron shot. PSA still in the .07 range and no ED. One strange thing that I will say is, the treatment seemed to give me a slight crook or bend at the base of my penis on erection. Not enough to cause any problems, but weird just the same. At 76 still alive and going strong!....if your at the awful stage of deciding your treatment , I just have to say the 45 rounds of radiation was great decision for me . Good luck to you all going through this time in your life!

HI Drifter; nice to hear from you again. So glad your treatment worked out so well (but not surprised). Don't know what to say about your crook but if it doesn't cause any problems that's great.

Take care,

Jim

Congratulations from one who is also (very) happy with the outcome of his radiation (+ ADT) therapy.
For the details, please see my 'resume'.

Congrats FI.

I also have a slight bend, I don't recall how long it's been there, but I always assumed it was a result of the surgery/maybe shortening of the urethra. But who knows , maybe it was from the SRT. Either way, like you, it doesn't bother me so I don't mention it to the doctor
