Well it seems I spoke too soon regarding side effects. Hubris and all that.
Physically, urgency to pee and poo kicked in a week after finishing treatment. Also, for the former, flow rate significantly reduced, burning increased, and inabilty to actually empty bladder. Not nice. For the latter, well let's just say the old saying holds true - never trust a fart. Sorry if that is too much info for some, but then again we're all members of the same club! Farmer Giles has also put in a repeat appearance, big time!
Mentally, been very depressed. I've suffered with treatment resistant severe depression for years. Funnily enough felt the best I've felt for years while getting the EBRT. Positive action played its part I suppose. Almost like the treatment gave me a purpose in life that's been lacking for some time. Since it finished been very down. Mentioned previously have a longstanding alcohol addiction problem. Abstained totally with surprisingly little difficulty for the duration of the treatment to the point where I thought I might stand a chance of finally kicking it out of my life. Sadly didn't last because post-treatment depression has sent me back to the same old crutch.
Sorry for pouring all this out. Just thought maybe it will be helpful to new people
