IMRT Radiation/ADT after surgery?

Posted by big220al @big220al, Mar 19 5:29pm

Gleason 4+3, PSA 7.6. Had RAP 9/27/23. First 3 month PSA test was < .01. Six month PSA test showed .o2. Doctors want to start IMRT radiation and ADT. Is this too soon? If there is a discussion on this I missed it. Thanks in advance for your info.
