73 year old male patient. Routine exam showed that PSA went from 4 to 7.5. Further tests revealed localized prostate cancer. In October, the patient begins 5 weeks of low dose radiation. He is currently taking Zolurdex and is having radioactive seeds implanted due to a hip replacement. Are there any restrictions about taking the herbs while undergoing radiation? Will the herbs counteract the efficiency of the radiation?

I would use Essence Chamber (2 capsules QID) plus Coriolus PS (2 capsules QID). Both formulas are good long term. Additionally, there is no evidence that herbs interfere with radiation therapies.
