@heavyphil I think it was pretty much the same as if just a BCR without a lesion. General radiation, then boost. Lymph nodes were targeted prophylactically. There was no evidence of any mets/micromets beyond the lesion, but with my low PSA (0.1) the PSMA PET scan might not have seen those.

First post-RT PSA test (ultra sensitive) coming up in 2+ weeks. If it’s anywhere below 0.1, I’ll be satisfied for this first go round. I expect my urologist will do a DRE as well.

How about you?

@melvinw Standard IMRT, but 25 tx at a bit higher power + 6 mos ADT.
Happily, I had no digital exam before treatment by my current RO…the previous one ( who left Sloan, thank goodness) really killed me with his finger and I almost elbowed him in the nose.
