I wondered about the forest too.  I don't think you've ever mentioned anyone going to the forest and I didn't even know you had a forest.
(((((((((((((((((((Robert)))))))))))))))))))))  I hope the diarrhea will remain "a little".  I never had any burning pee issues and I don't think I was unusually fatigued but when I had radiation I was living in a hotel five days a week in Rochester, going to Mayo.  I really didn't have a lot to DO, so I didn't have much chance to be fatigued.  Everything was locked down so we couldn't even go shopping.  I definitely wasn't trying to go to work like Robert is.

Good news that Robert is managing to cope with his treatment (((((((((((((((((((((Robert))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Long may it last and work well. HAhaha Linda, you do not have a Prostate so no burning pee !!!   

The boys went to the forest to walk.... with the dogs. They go often .... sometimes it is only Matt and the dogs sometimes Dan, Matt, boys and dogs. I suppose it is NOT really a forest as in millions of trees but it is called the Forest Track and you can also bike on it in amongst the trees.! It is not the hunting season and the boys are too young for that !  I would not allow it !

That would have been a nice walk then and I am sure they all enjoyed it.

Robert also has a little blood when emptying his bowels, another side affect.

Yes Moira, I know I don't have a prostate but I was radiated in that area so I could have some bladder/pee issues too but I didn't.
I didn't have bloody stools either but I could have, it is located in that area.

That is how they found out John had prostate problems by the blood in his stools .. thought to have maybe been caused by climbing over the bathroom door to rescue the hanging patient but who knows, .....with hindsight seeing as brother Walter also ended up with liver and prostate cancer and that eventually killed him !
The boys often got to the forest to walk or bike  !!!!! and take the dogs too and the younger boys !~!

Apologies Linda as I did not know you might also have had a burning pee ! ((((((((((((((((((Linda))))))))))))))))))))))))

You are forgiven regarding my possible burning pee!    I think radiation can affect anything in the general area you are having radiated though they try to be very careful.

It can be very hard to not lightly touch on other areas around where the radiation is treating. As you say Linda, they do try not to of course.
