What you say is definitely a good way to look at it and decide.

It does make sense to hit it early...as I said, only makes sense to wait if imaging will change the treatment plan.

If the decision is SRT to the prostate bed only, that I would hesitate doing based on Mayo's own data.

It was a decision I let my medical team make when I had BCR, ignoring the data emerging from clinical trials

When that failed and I had to do ADT, chemotherapy and radiation, well, mono therapy was a word that I deleted from my decision making. That and I added shared decision making.

Kevin,
Thank you again for your reply. It is indeed a difficult situation with so many variables and individual situations. I believe my husband would opt for Salvage with prostate bed as well as lymph node radiation. Possibly adding ADT for a period. We all take it one step at a time and hope the continued advances in treatment get closer to a cure. Best wishes to you.
