Yes, Dr Kishan at UCLA was really great along with the staff, absolutly top notch. I was in a trial using the VewRay. PSMA was undectable at 0.25 PSA but the trial was using SBRT for this type of situation which was in the past used primarily for actual tumors.

Recap: My Gleason 4+3, cancer returned after prostatectomy then started 6 mo. ADT with Orgovix then UCLA ViewRay SBRT treatment. Now 5 months after SBRT PSA 0 still waiting for effects of Orgovix to wear off and have testosterone return, fingers crossed as my ride with ADT hasn't been very pleasent at all...

ADT & Radiation concurrent tx beginning following RP.
Orgovyx: I am starting 4 mos tx; would you detail your side effects over time.
Radiation: 38 txs will begin soon as mapping is completed. Same Q about side effects.
RP Aug 2022; initial PSA 0.19 @ 90 days; 0.18 25 days later on retest.
I understand that everyone's individual responses are different. Trying to anticipate journey with dual tx. Will need to drive 1 hr 15 min each way for radiation for 8 wk tx.
