Your husband has another choice besides ADT . The patch trial Completed in England recently and showed that estradiol worked just the same as ADT, but had many fewer side effects. It’s easier on your cardiovascular system, On your bones (osteoporosis), causes fewer hot flashes and less brain fog. If your doctor has not heard of the patch trial, there is a lot of information about it so come back and we can help you.

If his PSA was Rising after treatment, then obviously he still has metastasis that needed to be treated or they could grow further. Your getting them treated by having them zapped with SBRT is a great solution. Dr. Mark Scholz, who you can see on PCRI videos, feels that doing that, is the best way to treat the type of prostate cancer reoccurrences you apparently have. Best of luck.

Brilliant information! Thanks Jeff, we'll certainly look into that. His nect PSA is in 2 weeks, so we'll see how rapidly its gone up etc then, so can discuss estradiol with our Oncologist too. Cheers!
