Yes, my friend’s RO at Sloan said that if his Cyberknife treatment failed, they could then do brachytherapy…assuming of course, recurrence is in the prostate only.

Even if his recurrence was both local and spread, they would do systemic treatment (and perhaps local treatment as well).
The point is that guys too often jump first to surgery, when often surgery should be relegated to the final option and only if/when all others have failed.
