Thanks for the reply.
I underwent SBRT on 12h Jan 26 with 5 fractions over alternative days, so had last one on Wed 21st.
Had 1st PSA done at 6 weeks post treatment , with it only falling from 4.69 to 4.09, a 12% drop which I was a bit concerned about as most literature available indicates a 40% to 50% drop over that time?
PSA was repeated two weeks later a couple of days before seeing the consultant for the first time at 2 month post treatment and it had fallen to 2.69, so very happy to have seen such a quick fall from 4.09 o 2.69 in just 2 weeks.
Was originally on AS for 10yrs with a G6, 3 + 3 but last autumn following a MRI scan and bi-ops it had risen to a G7, 3+4 3 with 8% G4 so it was decided that I should go for treatment which after looking at all the options decided that SBRT was the one I would go for as the treatment was local to me.
Had flow test before treatment which was around 16ml/sec fairly good, but after the 2nd fraction I had to start on Tamsulin due to the swelling and inflammation caused by the radiation. Was then getting up around 7 times a night and after the last.5th fraction, ALL the side effects kicked in, which was not very pleasant.
However, after around 3 weeks post treatment these all more or less subsided and back to just getting up once a night.
I continued with the Tamsulin for a month post treatment and slowly reduced to every other day, and stopped taken them at around 2 months post treatment.
Currently I have no side effects to speak off, so very happy with the outcome though with radiation symptoms can come back at a later time.
Will have PSA and follow up with consultant at 6 months.
