SBRT left common iliac node

Posted by briang1958 @briang1958, 6 days ago

OK, ready to make a decision on the next step of this battle.
Prostatectomy 10 years ago.
Biochemical recurrence with 30ish Radiation Treatments and that wonderful ADT of 18 month 8 years ago.
Rising PSA, PSMA shows metastasis to a lymph node 2024.

VA wants to put me on ADT for the rest of my life, went to Mayo for 2nd opinion. Mayo's Doctor thinks we still have a chance of killing this thing instead of putting it to sleep with all the side effects of ADT (I'm only 66) with SBRT on the node.

Who has had experience such as mine and have had the SBRT Radiation. My Dr is recommending a single treatment.

Thanks in advance

I had a prostatectomy and 3 1/2 years later it came back so I had salvage Radiation. It came back again years later, and I had a metastasis on my spine. They used SBRT to zap it, And I’ve been undetectable for 14 months since then. 15 years since first detected cancer. As soon as the cancer came back after radiation (2.5 years later) I was put on ADT.

Doing SBRT to zap up to five metastasis is very common. Not something to worry about. I’m a little surprised They don’t want to put you on ADT Because there might be other micro metastasis they are ignoring. This really does increase the chance of your cancer coming back.
