To continue, after the cancer was found to be isolated in the pelvis, I was treated with five rounds of SBRT. Three months later my PSA was undetectable. This is after 21 years since diagnosis, surgery, then first recurrence treated with radiation, second recurrence treated with Lupron, third recurrence scanned then radiation. Rule of thumb: get scanned, then treated. If you can see cancer, you know better how to treat it. Any recurrence should be seen as an opportunity to kill it. Get second opinions and seek curative treatment, if possible. Don’t settle for palliative treatment except as last resort. Finally, if you aren’t satisfied with your local doctors, got to a center of excellence. I had better communication with docs at UCLA than I did at home.
