Sounds like you probably are going to be getting salvage radiation to treat the area that still has cancerous tissue. This is frequently done.

They may want to put you on ADT to prevent a recurrence, And possibly even a second drug abiraterone or one of the lutamides.

Those are pretty common things to be done, especially if you have a Gleason nine.

This is very treatable, Make sure you’re working with a center of excellence or a Genito urinary Oncologist for your future needs. That will give you the best chance of a long overall survival.

Hi Jeff and thank you. I am treating at Mayo in Phoenix I return tomorrow for the cath removal and will start down the next journey. Any suggestions from you or others as to the very best genito urinary oncologist at Mayo or anywhere else in the US. At 69 years of age and having been relatively healthy until now, I refuse to sit back and let this disease win and am open to any and all suggestions for 2nd and 3rd opinions on the best center and oncologist to hold my hand and guide me through this very scary situation.

I appreciate you Jeff.
