You should see another doctor about doing focal therapy. It doesn’t appear to be an area that your current doctor is familiar with. Not saying you have to do it, but you should at least look at it.

He’s probably right about chemo or Pluvicto not being appropriate since there are no metastasis. That is a good thing.

Getting on the right drugs right now, and stopping from growing and spreading makes the most sense.

@jeffmarc Yessir, I agree on both scores, and I positively will be concentrating on 'focal' treatments. I just truly dread the almost inevitable future with Orgovyx, and worse yet, with Abiraterone/Prednisone. Prednisone alone, is brutal!

And as I've indicated previously, I will definitely be seeing my original (2018) radiation oncologist soon, who I strongly suspect will discourage salvage surgery, and recommend some form of focal therapy or treatment.
