Prostox - learn about whether radiation will cause problems

@jim18
Thanks so much for your input. That is the whole problem - I read that Prostox is valuable for salvage therapy and one of the members was told that by dr. Kishan himself, so I am confused why our RO refused doing that test and how is Prostox valuable for salvage therapy (because it supposedly IS). Perhaps it helps with planing of how many sessions and what amount of total radiation should be administered for the least possible damage ??? I would really like to know definite answer and I did not get it even after contacting Prostox.

@surftohealth88 Was any germline gene testing done? Many of the genes that Prostox looks at are involved in DNA repair and associated with cancer risk. If no cancer related genes such as BRACA1/2, ATM, etc. than less likely to have high score on Prostox. Do you want to take a higher risk of a second recurrence to reduce the probability of radiation side effects? Can always get someone to order the test self-pay (was about $395).
