Hey Bikeman 🙂 - did you start your therapy ? I hope that you have zero SA from ADT and apalutamide 🍀

Thanks for sharing the name of that study, I will check it up ASAP !

How many Gys will you get and in how many sessions ?

I had intended to keep this thread up to date but there have been...complications. First, the recommended ADT (Orgovyx) is contra-indicated with my heart medicine (Flecanide); we are sorting that out with my cardiologist. Second, the MRI showed two potentially involved pelvic lymph nodes; we are waiting on PET scan results (6/2) before proceeding.
Here is what my RO recommended BEFORE the MRI was done (and other test results confirmed aggressive cancer): IMRT and IGRT to treat to approximately 66-70 Gy to the prostate bed. Treat nodes to 45 Gy.
Any reactions to those recommendations?
