Hey grandpun, Glad you are doing well. Curious as to why no radiation following surgery. I realize that once the cells break out, they’re out. But I would have thought some kind of radiation might have been done due to lymph gland involvement? Prostate Bed?
Just curious as a layman since radiation combined with ADT seems to be the norm these days…thanks!

That seems to always be a good question - what's the next treatment once the PC is out?
And I didn't mention that besides the positive margins a spot of PC was found on one of my ribs. Therefore, the ADT had the body-wide action that arrested the PC with one treatment system.
And so far it has worked well.
Thanks for asking.
