I guess your PSA says you’ve got something growing. I think you’d be a candidate for salvage radiation or at least SBRT to the node with something showing in a scan, right?
My feeling on this - and please understand that I am a very pro-active/prevention minded person - is that if something is actually large enough to show in a scan, how much more “might” be there that’s not showing?
Not trying to cause you alarm….but you did ask….

My experience is similar. Gleason 3+4 in 1 of 12 lymph nodes. PSA level tested every three months for past three years. My PSA has been < 0.1. I’m grateful.
