What kind of radiation you had for salvage ?

@jeffmarc Hello Jeff - sometimes these posts confuse me. Contributor "surfohealth" asked for help/advice on types of radiation, etc. Your two separate responses seem to convey that you know that he has "not" had a radical prostatectomy, yet I assumed that he had because he refers to "salvage" radiation. Everything I have read about "salvage" radiation is about and for men who have had the radical prostatectomy, and have seen their cancer return...so now it is time for the next phase of treatment: "salvage radiation." Your answers are both good, but I wonder if "surfohealth" has had the radical prostatectomy or not? I have posed the question directly to him. What were your thoughts/assumptions on this when you offered your answers?

@rlpostrp
Actually, I have been in multiple discussions with @surftohealth88 I am aware of the fact that her husband has had a prostatectomy.

She is interested in getting adjuvant radiation rather than waiting for the PSA to rise and getting salvage radiation. You may see some discussions about that because she has been trying to find out if anybody else has been doing it.
