Robert, that sounds like a very logical plan of action and surveillance. You sound like it sits well with you.
You asked about the results of the SPPORT trial. I found this published in May 2022:
- The addition of androgen deprivation therapy and pelvic lymph node treatment to prostate bed salvage radiotherapy (NRG Oncology/RTOG 0534 SPPORT): an international, multicentre, randomised phase 3 trial https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(21)01790-6/fulltext
Did you take part in the trial?

Colleen - many thanks for your very helpful response. I did not participate in the trial but my oncologist was so impressed with the initial trial results he gave me similar treatment. Again thanks for sending me the link to the latest update on the trial. I will be discussing this with my oncologist in early December after my next scan and pathology tests. I suspect that this will be the time we will be discussing further treatment as the scans may show results given the rapid rise in PSA.
