BCR after 5 years Prostatectomy now questions about SRT

Just a question for you - would you be radiating the prostate bed or pelvis/lymph even though nothing is showing up? Have you been on ADT at all? Just curious as I, too, and learning.
Salvage R was suggested to us (BCR 17 yrs post prostatectomy), but we chose the PSMA PET and nodules did show up outside the pelvis only, so we are glad we did not radiate.

Late response. I had prostatectomy little over 5 years ago. My PSMA PET showed now areas of concern. CT was negative but PSA continues to rise. .43, .48, .49 in last 4 months. I am being instructed to proceed with 9 weeks of SRT and ADT. Seems excessive but it appears all the active cells are still local in the prostate bed. Hope that gives you some insight.
