@susanocl Are you on any special diet? Are you still eating sugar? Are you doing any alternative treatment after surgery?

@tdoriausername Thanks for asking. The PSA at 1.5 was his first PSA test post surgery. They said to wait at least 12 weeks and his was at 13 weeks. Before that it was just healing from surgery. First follow up with surgeon was at 14 weeks. Diet changes have been me adding in more fish and seafood at least 2-3 times per week for hubby, he doesn’t eat much sugar - not a sweets person, cutting back to half-caff coffee, and I have finally convinced him that even 1 or 2 drinks (crown and dr. Pepper) is not good and he’s now just doing that Fri-Sat-Sun nights.
Our current plan is salvage radiation (but I don’t think it can be called salvage since the cancer was never fully gone - so I’m calling it adjuvant) but we are worried about radiating the prostate bed and lymph nodes when nothing is showing up on any PSMA PET or MRI scans.
New PET/MRI scan is Jan. 30th and planning meeting with radiation on Feb. 3rd and CAT simulation for planning same day.
