What are the side effects of radiotherapy for prostate cancer?

Son, I completed my prostate radiotherapy sessions five years ago. Yes, those weeks were tough with bladder irritation and feeling weak, but my energy levels came back to normal within three months of finishing the treatment. Stay strong, this is just temporary.

Radiotherapy causes severe fatigue because the body is constantly repairing tissues. Try to eat high-nutrient, easily digestible foods and keep your protein intake steady to support muscle recovery. Avoid intense physical training and focus on resting.

While dealing with the physical strain, doing short, gentle walks can keep your blood circulation healthy and improve your mood. Just ensure your oncologist is comfortable with it, and make sure you rest the moment you feel tired.

Actually, my uncle had to face a lot of bowel irritation, yaar. He would get sudden cramps and had to rush to the washroom immediately during the middle of his treatment. The doctor gave him some tablets that helped control the digestion issues.
