Normal SBRT dose is 74Gy to 80Gy during prostate cancer radiation to the prostate. That is a lifetime radiation amount for that spot. The fact that you only got 50Gy explains why you had BCR. They didn’t give you enough The first time so it came back. By the way, BCR means you have a metastasis in your prostate tissue. That’s what produces the PSA rise, a metastasis.
You now have the maximum dose, in that area, so they can’t radiate it again.
A genetic test only requires saliva or blood, Quite simple, You did get prostate cancer pretty young that’s why it would make sense. If you have children, and you have a genetic problem, you could’ve passed it on them and you have no way of knowing And they could have cancer as a result. Same thing goes for any aunts and uncles as well as nieces and nephews in that family line. Genetic testing is free. You could have it done at the same time as your next PSA test.
