Salvage radiation decision: with or without hormone therapy?

That is AWESOME news!!! Love the PSA. I've had a very similar path. My Gleason was 8-9. Had surgery to remove the prostate. All 11 lymph nodes clear. First PSA was .2 so so obviously some cells still there. PSA then rose to .8 after 6 months so radiation and ADT was the plan of attack. Eight months after, my PSA is at .01.
My question, was does the a positive lymph node mean going forward? Really new here. Thanks everyone!!!

Hi DP - your Lymph nodes were negative , right ? Gleason getting up there , BUT it appears the EBRT did its job . How long have you been off ADT . Your PSA is great now at 0.01 . You may have ADT in your system though(?) . Plenty of guys get EBRT after surgery ( 2 year mark is common) Some with ADT , some not . I think most Dr's see what your stat is before using ADT . Gob Bless and let us know .
