Not that you would want to but if you could do it all over again?

What would you do differently? I am assuming only prostate-contained cancers here.

Treat? Not treat? Chose different treatment?

I treated with radiation and was pretty satisfied.

Nothing is off-limits.

I had robotic surgery last year, no regrets.

Interesting discussion idea. For myself, I might have held off a little on the Salvage Radiation.
I had my surgery in Sept of 21

Then these blood tests...
01/26/22 PSA Result of 0.039
04/26/22 PSA Result of 0.091

I think I should have had another blood test at the end of July 22 to confirm the PSA rise and get a rate as well before agreeing to the Salvage Radiation. That treatment didn't start till 6/15/22 anyway, what would another month have mattered?

I'm not a spilled milk kind of person though, and for now, it's all in the rear view so....happy with that.
