How Long With Fatigue And Bowel Issues Last After Taking Radiations For Prostate Cancer?
I recently had recurrence of elevated psa following prostetctomy for prostate ca. Had salvage radiation, about 68 rads over seven weeks. Last treatment was received on 2/ 7/14. Still having a lot of fatigue and bowel issues. How long will, these symptoms last and is there anything I can do to help with these side effects of radiation?
These are acute side effects which continue as sub acute effects for upto 2 months and rarely 3 . They gradually wane off. Changing diet can help , non fried foods , soft , non spicy , home cooked if possible, bulk forming foods etc. Fatigue can be batteled by moderate morning exercise . multi vitamin suppliments.
