Anyone had salvage radiation therapy post-prostatectomy?

@michaelcharles I’m also G9 non metastatic 62 yrs. I’m headed to surgery 3/26th at NYU Langone. I had one COE that wanted to do ADT prior to surgery but NYU suggested it messes up pathology etc. Anyway I’m hoping I get good margins but I’m being realistic. The ADT question as to when and how long is confusing. I hope I didn’t make a mistake by not starting ADT prior to surgery. NYU Surgeon felt he could get negative margins without it. No definitive answers in this game. Just worried about spread which so far hasn’t happened.. lmk what you think.

Langone in Mineola or NYC? My urologist for my bladder cancer is Dr Anthony Corcoran. Out of Mineola/Garden City…great doc.

Personal and lay person comments:
I think that you are 100% fine for surgery w/o preop ADT.
My sense is that some surgeons/institutions have different preop protocols before RP.
I did not have ADT preop.
My response was directed to Salvage Treatment after recurrence, where the protocol often is radiation with or without ADT.
Best wishes for s successful surgery.
