You could get a PSMA pet scan to see if there is noticeable cancer somewhere in your body. I know people that get it done at .2 and you are .42 which should be enough.
The RO does make a point about waiting. If the cancer gets out of your prostate bed then the radiation won’t do any good? If you got on Lupron really soon that could prevent it from happening.
While I did not have side effects from the seven weeks of radiation some people do get fatigue and other issues. Having the right amount of water in your bladder, every day is the important thing.
