@briang1958 brian, were the cancers found in the nodes. How intense was the photon. So will you treat L3. Does its invisibility on the bone mean that there no damage to the bone, yet. You are conducting a good fight. Thankyou for the encouragement.

Yes, the "Foci" were on the left and right iliac nodes. If truly important I can get the information regarding photon strength.
Mayo doctor said the PET could have been in error (or reading of it), but it was not seen on MRI so no radiation on spine.
Next steps TBD.
To be totally transparent, I had Lupron during my radiation treatments 55 years old high T and it really really clobbered me to the point I did not want to get out of bed. I have not been on ADT since then and had a good 10 year run without it with undetectable PSA. I am pretty sure some sort of ADT will be part of my treatment going forward, but then again, I have learned not to anticipate this thing that has invaded my body.
