they may be having hot flashes from the androgen deprivation uh and decreased libido and fatigue as you know but on the radiation side because we have all these tricks now very much like with breast the way we can avoid the heart and the lungs in the case of the prostate we can almost completely avoid the bladder and the rectum and even the uh the penile bulb now
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
