Thank you
This is what they have been telling me without referencing those exact numbers. I am on the ADT and will start radiation Wed.
I am getting the impression from some posts here that this urgency is not so critical here, because there is some new-fangled radiation, is it photon, proton, that can handle any metastatis, even to the bones.

@lacraig1 - the "newfangled radiation" may not be so new. Stereotactic Body Radiation (SBRT) is being successfully used to zap metastatic lesions all over the body - often in bones and some organs. Most multi-disciplinary centers of excellence (university medical centers) offer SBRT for salvage treatments and spot radiation of PC lesions. I heard the head of the UCLA PC center say they use SBRT to zap up to 12 separate metastatic PC lesions today
Best of luck to you.
