I'm getting an authorization code today for the PSMA. Have an appointment in 2 weeks with head of Oncology. My Urologist/surgeon said I'll probably get 28 sessions of SRT with possible ADT, but Oncologist will make the final recommendations. I hope your radiation and ADT is going well. How many sessions of radiation and how long on ADT did they suggest for you?

I did 25 sessions of radiation and 6 mos of ADT. Pro tip from my experience. If you have never had radiation I would suggest asking for SpacOre gel to protect your rectum and Oxybutynin for bladder urgency up front once you are ready to pull the trigger on your treatment. My bladder urgency was so bad after 3 weeks that I blew up on the table twice in one session. I only got the drug after telling them I wouldn't get back on the table until they gave me something for it. They really want that 5K per session and it was at my pharmacy the next morning. I hate private practice. I hard quit my RO this week when they called to confirm my 3 month follow up.
