Dear Topf,
There are so many new "suggestions" and theories that IMHO it is best to stick with "old and proven" methods. That "new way of thinking" is too scary for my comfort since if there IS recurrence in a prostate bed and one misses that PSA 0.2 level (or lower for aggressive cancer) than one risks distant metastatic cancer developing !!!
I do not understand Kwan at all. Yes- if cancer already is metastatic (in other parts of a body) than irradiating pelvic area makes no sense but if it IS there than it is great advantage to eradicate is while it is still "there" and at PSA level 0.2 or lower !

@surftohealth88 I was under the impression that if you radiate the prostate bed and there is cancer some place else that you would know from a psa test. He also says that salvage surgery after radiation is safe, which was also new to me.
