Anyone have thoughts or experience with Dr. Walsh’s mothership theory?

Thanks for sharing your experience. I understand there is a study in progress that will hopefully one day determine if there is any validity to the theory. My husband has the lymph node situation as well. Best wishes to you!

STAMPEDE shared its preliminary findings on this topic a number of years ago, and the complete ones (I think) in 2022, so this is well beyond just speculation now. The one qualifier, which I'll repeat, is that they found a benefit to also radiating the prostate only for oligometastatic prostate cancer.
