What is your PSA?
That is what determines whether or not there is a need to do something right away.
Your doctor has to determine whether or not further radiation could be done in the same area that there are issues. You can’t radiate the same area twice in most cases.
Some doctors will do surgery to remove tissue that was radiated. That may be your choice, but it depends on things like your PSA And how available the spots are for surgery.

Jeff, PSA is .28 up from ,27 six month age. SUV in the prostate isn't concerning? If you take out the node does that prevent metastasis or if it is in the node does that mean that it has already escaped the prostate and is in the bloodstream. Is sooner better?
Thank you.
