Proton Radiation starting next week

Hi my name is Bob and I have prostate cancer and a spot on my sacral bone.

Next week I start Proton therapy 5 days a week for 8 weeks

I like to have a couple of cocktails at night will I be able to still drink. I know I have a drinking problem not sure I can just stop.

Thank You all

Re: Proton Radiation starting next week

Starting proton radiation treatment next week marks a significant step in your healthcare journey. This precise form of radiation targets tumors while sparing surrounding healthy tissue, minimizing side effects. Prepare by discussing the procedure with your medical team, arranging support, and focusing on self-care. Staying informed and maintaining a positive outlook can help you navigate this treatment effectively.
