Hopefully it is Proton Beam therapy, and not traditional radiation. Proton Beam is the newest and exceedingly better treatment for recurring prostate cancer. In brief, I have read that traditional radiation goes "to" and "through" the targeted area, thus causing all of the unfavorable consequences like permanent urinary incontinence, scarred urethra, scarred bladder, and rectal problems. But...Proton Beam therapy directs the radiation "to" the treatment area, but it stops there...it does not go "through" to cause damage to otherwise healthy surrounding tissue. I think traditional radiation therapy will be a thing of the past in the next 10 years as hospitals and radiology centers add Proton Beam instrumentation equipment to their services. Good luck to you.
