Hello,

Recurrence of cancer in the pelvis would be considered a local recurrence, even if it involves two lymph nodes. The good news is that the nodes are in the pelvic region and not close to the bone.

The chance for remission or even a cure is much higher if it is a locally recurring cancer.

IMRT Radiation to the pelvis and lymph nodes will eradicate the cancer if caught early.

P.S. I am not a doctor I am just giving you my opinion based on my own recent experience. Your Urologist and Radiation Oncologist can give better advice.

Hello,

I had a urologist appointment to discuss my PSMA-PET result. He told me it was a local recurrence of prostate fossa and that I needed to go with an MRI first and Radiation. I am going to see the doctor on 12 Jun. for an update. Do you think later, after Radiation, it can recur? I got the impression that my PSA is .28, and they found that only place in scanning.

Thanks
