Third SBRT Opinion Worth It?

The surgeon who did my biopsy has remarked several times that my prostate isn't very large (I don't know the exact dimensions). He also did a cystoscopy last Friday and didn't see anything major. He wrote me a prescription for overactive bladder but I haven't had a chance to pick it up. I probably drink too much coffee/tea, and I run, so I drink a lot of fluids in general, which I'm sure contributes to the frequency issues. I've been on Flomax several times in the past and am currently on Silodosin. I've seen maybe minor improvements at best.

I have about a month until the appointment in Houston. It is probably worth cutting down on (or out...ack!) caffeine and trying the bladder medicine to see if the issues improve drastically.

I would suggest picking up the bladder meds just in case and add it to your medical stash. I am finishing salvage radiation and wish I had asked, since no one offered. Total blow up on the table at the end of week 4 due to urgency.

About 2 years ago I was diagnosed with PC. Gleason 4+3. Underwent Proton radiation treatment. 5 sessions and eligard 4 months.
Had a few side effects early on but nothing serious
PSA keeps declining.
Was treated at Mayo- Rochester.
Prostate Cancer Research Institute website and youtube videos were most helpful.

I'm very happy post treatment and my equipment works fine.
