Anyone had proton therapy after prostatectomy?

This is why all SRT now targets the nodes. You can ‘see’ some nodes have cancer, but others probably have it too.
Cumulatively, they could add to the PSA bring what it is. Why not zap the nodes and see what happens?

I have had PT on some suspicious nodes in the past, but it had no effect on PSA. Therefore, I do not think it would make sense to “attack” slightly suspicious nodes now, which have not changed over the years. Rather, I still hope that renewed local recurrence will be proven. Repeated use of PT on the same site is, as I have read, possible, although it is not without risk… Anyway, thanks for your opinion. I will report here how it develops.
