Ablation, has anyone heard of this type of treatment?

What about ablation for an individual hot spot that might appear on recurrence?. I have been brainstorming the idea that my metastasis might only show a pea sized or similar tumor like the first recurrence and that might be a one and done.when I stop adt I can get a definitive petscan and if the tumor is accessible that might be less onerous than radiation series.

Well, if you are on ADT something in your testing - high Decipher? - or scans must have alerted your RO to put you on ADT to begin with, right?
Plenty of men never go on ADT even with Gleason 7’s so did you have a biopsy that showed a certain aggressive cellular pattern?
My own limited experience has shown me that ADT is for stubborn or more aggressive cases to playing whack-a-mole with these tumors is bound to miss something along the way and give it a chance to spread? Good question for your RO!
