I don’t believe cryo is an option for salvage treatment and he has no prostate so seeds are out too. Only option left is some form of EBRT

Hi Phil, sorry I must’ve misread or didn’t understand that you have already had prostate removed. I am guessing the EBRT therapy is probably what I had also without looking everything back up. The only thing I can add then is I ended up with 39 treatments at Mayo Clinic in Rochester. The conversation was deeply about avoiding critical areas and they felt they could limit exposure. But as I learn where the targeting was it affected my bladder neck extensively. I don’t know if I really want to share everything as it doesn’t help you with any positive thinking. I will answer any questions the best of I can as long as you ask. I will be celebrating my 64th birthday in March. Currently scheduled to have ileal conduit surgery on Friday. In a way I am so looking forward to the surgery to get things back to normal. Again, ask anything and I’ll do my best.
