From what I find searching around it seems like SBRT would be about the same with only 5 treatments?? Is there some reason to avoid SBRT, looks like it's been around for a decade or more. Also, looks like it more accurate, less damage to surround tissue. Then there is something I read about a proton beam that is even suppose to do less damage?
Does everyone get this chemical re-occurrence after prostate removal. Sounds like I am in for a long haul and lots of learning. I thought a person could get it removed and in a few month be over wetting yourself and back to having sex. No problems years later.

@diverjer - I had SBRT Proton Beam on my iliac nodes at Mayo. Single shot each.
Those didn't show up on latest PSMA but 4 more did.
