@water0164 I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer. My nurse practitioner at Mayo Clinic (in Minnesota) referred me to a radiation oncologist (Dr. Haddock) whose speciality is gynecological cancers. Dr. Haddock and his team including a radiation oncology fellow were all thorough and wonderful for me to work with. I'm going to assume that your husband's referral to radiation oncology at Mayo Clinic will be to a radiation oncologist whose speciality is prostate cancer.

Thank you Helen. You are correct that we will need a radiation oncologist whose speciality is prostate cancer. I should have included that earlier.

At 74 my doctors chose radiation= same results they said. They put in SPACE OARS in front of rectum to protect it from radiation treatments. Today 18 months later my bowel movements are normal with stool softeners. My PSA is < .01. I ve had LUPRON TREATMENTS plus Arbiterone/ prednisone for 18 months now. Need naps in afternoon but I m ok. My Gleason was 9-10 with two lymph nodes affected too/ thanks to AGENT ORANGE I was exposed too. Happy D-DAY to you guys. Go Veterans!!
