Salvage Radiation Therapy with or without ADT added?

I had SRT w/ short term ADT after persistent PSA of .19 post RP consistent with the SPORTT trial.
Didn't like it but at the end of radiation, I was glad that I had agreed to the ADT as part of my salvage treatment. I only had 1 chance to have effective SRT and went with my ROs recommendation.
No permanent effects that I have noticed since ADT wore off, which was 4 - 6 mos after completion.
Best wishes

Thank you very much for sharing your experience. Good to hear that ADT did not leave any noticeable effects on you.

May I ask how soon after your RP your PSA started climbing and at what rate? Mine has steadily increased from .18 to .22 over the past 2.5 months, being now at 6 months post RP. I am not sure to what extent this is considered to be a moderate or fast PSA increase.

How long after your RP did you get your SRT + ADT and how long has it been since you finished the treatment? I assume that you are glad to have agreed to get ADT as your PSA has remained favorable?
