I just noticed you said you’re seeing a radiation oncologist. Do you have to have radiation?

I don't need any radiation or even more Lupron now as the Lab work from the surgery on Ajg. 3 so no cancer spread and he got it all but who knows in the future. I just have to go get blood work every 3 months and if any uptick in the PSA off of 0, then we do a PMSA Pet Scan and if any spot/spots are seen inside where the prostate was, I get Lupron and if any spot/spots on the outside, then targeted at the spot/spots Beam radiation. According to the Hans Model, risk of recurrence is low and even 15 years out only a 17% chance of it coming back.
