Hi Treesqueak, so this is NOT full pelvic radiation, but SPOT radiation, right?
This is what is feasible for patients who have already had salvage radiation to their prostate bed. But, if you read below, Kaiser wants to do a full pelvic radiation coverage. I am just not sure what to do.

@barblouise This was radiation to the full pelvic region. A recent study concluded that there is a lower incidence of metastatic disease with this approach compared to spot radiation to a single lymph node. I previously had full radiation for an earlier recurrence in the prostate bed.
