Thanks for the reply. I don’t think/don’t know if I’m considered metastatic.
- Post prostatectomy,
- post IMRT salvage radiation,
- post Lupron for 2 years.
PSA rose .014 to .53 in 21 months, so doubled a couple of times. Cancer activity suspected in right vas deferens only above bladder. Considering havoc radiation caused before, and that my bladder wall is thickened already, I’m reluctant to jump in without some strong opinion the radiation will not cause more major damage.

No, you're not metastatic (from that description). You might be a good candidate for an ADT holiday to give your body time to recover, especially if your onco is recommending it.
