You are making the point the Surgeon (Fellow, 2nd dude in the surgery) said about CR, castration resistant PCa. It's still unclear to me how that takes place and what to do in order to prevent that.
I hear that there are men years and years on ADT, and not resistant. I really don't want to see my PSA rise and would want to squelch that with whatever means possible. My ignorance is showing, and without the advice of an oncologist I'm partially blind.
I'm getting a referral for a GU oncologist (GenitoUrinary) which should be a good 1st stop. Next is a Radiation Oncologist at a closer medical facility.
My next searches will be PBT vs. IMRT vs. SBRT. Sounds like the PBT causes the least side effects, but may not be covered or even available to me.
Thanks once again, HP
