Discussed radiation with Oncologist and they said no. Reason it would not kill the cancer as it was recurred stage 4. Maybe it was not applicable to my situation. My son is an MD and he asked about radiation treatment and the response was that radiation is used to relieve pain. And since I had no pain in the lower right ribs where the cancer had metastasized it wasn't needed. Oncologist Drs settled on Eligard 6 month injection and Xtandia. Urologist wants another PSMA PET scan. Last psa taken 13 Dec 2.7. Down from 18.5 on 16 Nov. Currently on Casodex started 17 Nov. Eligard injection scheduled for 9 January and scans on the 10th.
