If you have residual cancer cells in the prostate area, that means that after prostate removal you had positive margins.

When that happens, radiation should be arranged to zap the areas that have positive margins.

Going on Elgard will stop it from growing, But if you have not had radiation, you need to Get a second opinion from an expert. You need to find a center of excellence or a Genito urinary oncologist. They will look at your case and make major changes.

Going on Elgard does not kill the cancer. It just stopped it from growing while you’re on it. If you don’t get another Eligard shot, you could be assured that cancer is going to start spreading.

I cannot understand what kind of doctor would leave you in this precarious situation.

Apart from the Eligard, I am currently on radiation therapy, today will be session 19 out of 25 and I am ready for the last session. The radiation has affected my lower intestines, I am having diarrhea almost daily, my hemorrhoids are killing me, and just an overall malaise feeling. I have just a few sessions left so I am going to finish with the Lord's help. Thanks for your comments.
