hey guys,

is there any mention of 'salvage' side effects? 'late' salvage OR 'adjuvant' salvage? Is continence and erectile function pretty much gone at that point???? can they get precise enough with salvage to avoid some of the nerves etc? with proton or photon?
if proton is used now for late salvage and can be precise enough, that might be a great reason to choose it................

Could come down to sparing nerves or killing the cancer. I choose killing the cancer.
