Rising PSA's after treatment - an answer

This is a very very interesting and detailed timeline you provided.

I'm curious was your RP bilateral nerve sparing, unilateral nerve sparing, or non-nervesparing and what was the additional hit to your erectile and urinary function long-term after salvage RT?

My RP was nerve sparing. I was on Cialis and gained erectile function around the 12 month point.

When the nurse pulled the catheter out after my RP, I had zero incontinence.

The SRT has had no affects on either erectile or urinary functions almost eight years after SRT.

Question is, why? In part, the skill of my surgeon, the radiologist and her team, the advances in the technology and software for planning and delivering radiation treatment.
