Hmmm, not sure I agree.

Generally we know upwards of 30% if men go on to develop BCR after surgery. Those are the high risk, GS, pathology reports that are unfavorable.

We also generally know BCR within 18 months are an ominous sign.

So, decide based on clinical data. In my case, GS8, < 18 months to BCR then a PSADT < 3 months....time to do something!

Forgive my ignorance but what is BCR? I did not have surgery just radiation which may explain my lack of knowledge on BCR.
