Starting Adj radiation in about 3 weeks. I am treated and the University of Rochester Wilmot Cancer Center. I was given 2 plans to choose from. A less aggressive plan where they treat everywhere that showed up on PSMA PET scan vs. a more aggressive plan where they hit everything in my pelvis including pelvic lymph nodes. I choose the more aggressive plan and my RO agreed with that. I want to be aggressive as possible because I have a very aggressive case, and would like to address it before it gets any worse. After radiation, I plan on discussing docetaxel with my MO, but she indicated that it’s not called for unless there is metastasis. My POV is that we should not wait to do things that we can do now. But on the other hand, I didn’t go to school for oncology.
