Why no radiation to the lymph nodes?

Hi @rkurtzjr, do you have prostate cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes?

It was closer to 20 lymph nodes scattered across a vast region and the oncologist and radiation oncologist were of the opinion that 5 was the max, so we discounted this option.

Now on ADT for 12 months and PSA less than 0.1, hoping it stays that way for another 12 months and then off ADT. If and when the PSA rises, will most certainly get to a PSMA PET and if the metastatic areas are not so widespread, I think radiation will be an option.

we shall see, for now just trying to sleep enough, these days I need 10 hours a night!
