Getting older sucks. I've gone the whole route including Radical Prostectomy and radiation in 2009. A key to survival is you need to do whatever it takes including another biopsy if needed. You might also consult with another doctor. The Mayo Clinic offers a C11-choline PET scan that can see active cancer cells with a low PSA of 2+. In other tests it would possibly need to be 20+.

@safari1949, have you any lasting side effect since surgery and radiation?

@kane59, good questions to @fairway5 about rectal MRI. Are you scheduled to have one?
