If you’ve had salvaged radiation, that is the maximum you can get in that area of the body. You can have SBRT to other areas.
The amount of time you get chemo is based on your situation. Need to know more about his cancer diagnosis, Things I mentioned in the first response.
After chemo, there is Pluvicto. Check with your doctor about that, if chemo is unsuccessful. It is very successful for about 1/3 of patients somewhat successful for about 1/3 and not successful for 1/3. You should have genetic and somatic testing before doing Pluvicto Because it is not successful with some genetic issues.
