Next step after PSMApet shows one metastatic cite

@edward72 I agree - zap it now if you can…but hold off on ADT to see if your PSA drops after treatment.
That’s the only way you’ll know if the PSA was only from that suspected lesion.
The change (or not) will then dictate next steps and you may 🤞wind up needing no ADT at all. Just my two cents…

@heavyphil
Thanks . That approach with no ADT could indicate just one lesion. It seems like doing the zapping with ADT also could determine if just one lesion if no recurrence. But you are right that would involve side effects and I expect longer timeframe. Very helpful.
