I had Salvage Treatment: 37 IMRT radiation txs over 8 weeks to whole pelvic floor and pelvic lymph nodes together with a 4 mos short term of ADT.

See SPPORT trial info.

This was shortly after my Prostatectomy. My PSA was "persistent"; 1st 90 day PSA .19 (did not return undetectable).

Referred immediately to Radiation Oncologist.

Bowel/bladder: 1st 4 wks no particular issues. 2d 4 weeks, increasing diarrhea and some pain/ stinging upon defacation. Resolved 2 - 3 wks after radiation completed.

Same experience for a salvage treatment friend.

Sexual function: I am not a good resource to respond; the ADT eliminated any libido and I was only a few months out from surgery and erectile function return was in its infancy.

On the happier side, my uPSA 1 year post salvage treatment has been undetectable at < .02 (limit of testing accuracy at Quest Labs).

Also, started ADT a month prior to radiation and that "no fun ride" made I difficult to distinguish between SEs from ADT and/or radiation.

Best wishes for a successful treatment.
