There really isn’t any way to do that other than salvage radiation that would radiate the prostate bed.

The thing is unless your PSA rises they’re not going to do radiation.

They would not give you docetaxel unless you had multiple metastasis. That’s what it is to treat. It is very hard on the bodythey don’t want to give it to you if you don’t really need it.

ADT would stop it from growing.

You have to realize that 30 to 40% of people who have Prostatectomies have recurrence. The rest do not. There’s no way to know which group you’re in, But a biopsy report with multiple issues could say you are likely to have problems.

Doing a decipher test can tell you where your chance of reoccurrence is. Maybe give you some comfort if you come in real low.

Didn’t have decipher. My biopsy, RP pathology and sonomic testing were horrific enough. If I did have decipher it would’ve been over .99. I can only hope they radiate what’s left
