Hi, thank you for your response. A PSMA Pet scan is going to be ordered once insurance approves. PSA now 0.24 and Radiation Oncologist (met today) suggested 39 Radiation Treatments. Once the PSMA results in, would like to go to the Mayo for second opinion. How did you do with Radiation Treatments? Thank you!

Bettwils, getting a second opinion is often a good idea to discuss treatment and specifically radiation options. Hhere's more information about getting a second opinion at Mayo Clinic. http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63

I’ve had two rounds of RT: two years after prostatectomy-35 treatments and SBRT-5 rounds for pelvic lymph node metastasis, 4 nodes. My first go may have affected my bladder some but no other side effects. My second go was less than a year ago. So far so good. I once joked with the radiologist about whether the machine was turned on. I felt nothing but my PSA went from 1.0 to <0.008. The tumors sure felt it. I’m also taking Nubeqa.
