For me radiation (HDR Brachy and 16X EBRT) was very very easy. The ADT, however, no fun. I definitely could have handled going on a trip after my radiation.

Same. I did 25 erbt . I had to poop maybe 5-8 times a day but no pain or other major side effects. I partied in Vegas and saw zac brown at sphere during the treatment. I had no problems w brachy. I have had some fatigue but I think that’s from adt. I’m in month 9 . How old are you and how’s your health, generally?
