Salvage radiation therapy after radical prostatectomy

Kevin, I know you are very knowledgeable but just wanted to point out one fact. There is a difference between a radiologist and a radiation oncologist. They are 2 separate specialties. I practiced Radiology and was a radiologist for over 40 years. In our large group we also had 3 radiation oncologists. Totally different training and practice.

You are correct, my radiologist is a radiation oncologist, there is a clear and distinct difference, mea culpa...
The premise remains the same, a radiation "specialist" recommending SRT to the prostate bed sent warning signals to my brain...
If the radiation specialist is not a radiation oncologist I would consider consulting with either an oncologist or a radiation oncologist. If the radiation specialist is a radiation oncologist, consider consulting another or an oncologist.
