Rising PSA at 5 months post-RALP

The SPPORT trial results may be of interest to you.
My RO prescribed 66.6 gy radiation to the whole pelvic floor region, including 45 gy to the pelvic lymph nodes, together with a short course of ADT.
G 9, persistent PSA post-op .19 w/ EPE, surgery age 72.
Over 2 yrs post SRT, PSA thankfully has been "undetectable".
ROs and MOs seem to be finding their different comfort levels with ADT - yea or nay - and length of treatment.
My RO definitely recommended ADT (in the face of my protestation), but only a 4 mo course.
I have put my faith in his treatment plan.
While I am hopeful that I will never hear from my PCa again, I do anticipate that I will have a future recurrence and hope that it can be managed as a chronic disease at that time.
Best wishes.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I am actually at .19, 5 months post-op, and the Oncologist is taking about 6 months of ADT. I wonder why the difference between 6 and 4 months of ADT treatment, in a case such as mine that apparently is not highly critical. Maybe I am also a candidate for only 4 months of treatment?
