@klein505 Totally agree with you! Dr Kwon often seems to contradict himself - and others.
I know he is a supposed ‘expert’ but I think SRT is the very LEAST you should do when the PSA hits 0.2.
You can always zap larger metastases if they show up later with SBRT; but if you don’t treat - and wait for visible PET - the cancer could become widely disseminated and doom you to a lifetime of ADT.
Many men are on it, but why put yourself in that position?

@heavyphil Thanks for your reply - I get so bogged down trying to get up to speed on all the different studies / videos, I am in danger of missing the forest for the trees. Avoiding dissemination is a priority endpoint!

@heavyphil Yes I listened to it and this was 4 years ago and he was speaking generically. I certainly would not accept this approach with my early recurrence, biology and what seems to be a fast doubling time.
