Jeff, no ADTRARPI medicine taken and it was undetectable September 3. Yeah I’ve been part of the group for a while but have not been active. I have not had a decipher test PSA was .01 and CT pet scan did not show anything so I’m feeling good but still apprehensive as I’m sure many do. I’m sure I’m not the only one but I’m just wondering if there are many other people that have that with side effects and if anybody has had reoccurrence, thank you for the info I appreciate it I will be back in February third for next scan so I will be asking questions as to chance of reoccurrence fingers crossed and saying prayers for everyone here thanks, Jon

If you haven’t been on the drugs, and you were undetectable for a year it’s a real good sign.
A percentage of people have some side effects after the prostatectomy and radiation. My main side effect has been incontinence starting about five years after the radiation and it’s gotten worse every year. The fact that you didn’t really have much in the way of side effects at the time is really good. Yes, some things can creep in, but you’re not having an issue so things could continue smoothly, They sure have for me other than that incontinence issue and it’s been 12 years since I had IMRT radiation, like you had.
Wish you the best on your next set of tests in February. Keep the faith.
