Wojo ,
Follow the Drs that you’re working with. I had RP removal and margins were clear……… for 6 years. The numbers started rising. 39 treatments of radiation treatments. That was in 2020. Sorry to say , buts lots of issues followed 2 years later. I would ask about ANY type of alternate therapy to radiation IF it comes to this later. Sorry this is so negative , but just want to stress to look at options versus automatically going with routine radiation. Best of luck to you.

Hey conchman, We are in similar situations in regards to RP/ salvage tx.
What alternative other than ADT - which has it’s own set of side effects - are there? And I don’t mean diets, supplements or any of the non medically approved regimens out there. Thanks!
Phil

What type of issues are you referring to?
What was your first PSA number following SBRT?
