Not able to have a orgasm

I had a radical prostatectomy in 2008. I had recurrence prostate cancer in the prostate bed in 2011 and had 36 treatments of proton radiation with 6 months of hormone therapy. I don't know which hormone was used. Since I have been having PSA checks every three months with continuing PSA rise. I'm due another test Wednesday. Last time it was 4.8 which was a minor decrease from the previous test. I've had 4 PET scans and so far they haven't detected any cancer. So, I'm on a wait and see.

I’m a little surprised that they are letting this go without discussing putting you on hormone therapy. The rule is, after radiation, if you have three rises in your PSA it’s time to start hormone therapy. You are at 4.8, have there been 3 rises, even if it has dropped recently?

After a prostatectomy radiation is recommended to be started when the PSA reaches .2. How high was yours allowed to go before they started radiation?
