Prostate cancer radiation failed

I'm so glad you've had a good outcome. ♥️. I'm also hoping for 10+ years, even though they intially told me to expect many fewer (this fall will be three years with no disease progression).

I wish there were a test for dormant prostate-cancer cells hiding in my bones (or elsewhere); they're probably still there, but there's always a chance they're gone.

My concern about a "treatment holiday" (which is becoming common practice for earlier-stage prostate cancer) is that my oligometastatic castrate-*sensitive* cancer might come back in a couple of years as castrate-*resistant*, which would significantly alter my position. So onwards with Orgovyx and Erleada for now, since they're working, and the side effects aren't all that bad.

(This is in addition to emergency debulking surgery on my spinal lesion, and "curative" doses of radiation to my spine and prostate.)
