Some Side Effects of Prostate Radiation that Oncologists Kind of Tell you About
To enlighten my fellow prostate patients about how this all works I will start at the beginning. Not the very beginning, but the beginning when cancer was discovered. I had been under “active surveillance” for years.

I’m Mark Axelrod-Sokolov. I’m a university professor and a novelist I’m also a prostate cancer patient and have been for over a decade including many years under active surveillance until, as my urologist finally said to me “you’ve had a good run, but it’s showtime” meaning, radiation therapy. I’m writing this series of blogs devoted to the subject of prostate cancer and how it’s affected me in hopes that it might help other men who may be going through the same physical and mental anguish I’ve been going through.
