What is salvation radiation and when is it needed?

My prostrate was removed in 2005. No mention of salvage radiation from my urologist. Only went to 2 f/u appts (shame on me) as I recall my last psa was .08 probably in 2006.

They don’t use salvage radiation unless your PSA rises to .2 After surgery. If you didn’t get tested until you had metastasis, then it’s too late to do salvage radiation. It would never be discussed with you unless your PSA started rising. It took 3 1/2 years after surgery before my PSA hit .2, Then they did do salvage radiation.
