Can Prostate Cancer "Take a New Trajectory"?

Did they do SBRT to your spot on the hip? The SRT to your pelvic area may have knocked out the cancer and ADT may no longer be required at this point, hopefully forever. PSA tests are key to cancer status.

Radiation was to the entire pelvic area including that spot on the hip and all remaining lymph nodes. PSA was < 0.01 after radiation and has remained there for 2 years

This has some interesting side effects about using SBRT. If the bone has been overtaken too much by a metastasis, it may not be possible to use SBRT without damaging the underlying bone marrow. In these cases, they won’t do radiation.
People in this situation end up with chemo or Pluvicto.
