A member asked:
My dad completed radiation trtmt for prostate cancer last year, as well as hormone therapy. was given all-clear @ follow-ups. how much effect would the treatment have on his immune system or would it have any effect @ this point (many months later)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Immune system: I think his immune system is not impaired. I haven't seen patients like him have any long-term adverse effects from treatment such as repeated infections,etc.
