So you had radiation in 2005, and then prostatectomy in 2014 because of recurrence in the prostate? How did that go?

I had radiation in 2021 and recurrence in the prostate and nodes in 2023, and would like the prostate tumor removed before it constricts the urethra. However I am told that prostatectomy is not possible after radiation, and so am controlling that tumor with ADT.

I believe there are others here who have had a prosectomy after radiation. You may want to do a separate post and ask.
