Does IMRT cause incontinence?
My doctor seems to think that a course of 9 weeks of IMRT on my Lymph node area and prostate to treat prostate cancer is not likely to cause incontinence for me. I'm 60 and I'm not sure he is right. When I think of causing incontinence I am concerned also in the long run. If in 10 years I would have

I'm 84 and diagnosed with PC 5 months ago. I was told I had High Risk Localized PC with a Gleason score of 8.
I was put on Firmagon immediately and took 45 radiation IMRT sessions, which I just finished. Although the pet and bone scans showed no signs of spread outside the prostate, I am also taking 500mg of Zytiga with 5mg of Prednisone as a precaution, . I also take .4 mg Flomax (I no longer have fainting

UCSF PSMA PET Update Location of Recurrence Low PSA
An update on PSMA PET with good information on how it works and why its so accurate when compared to other imaging modalities. Also, patients with low PSA of 2.0 and below can be scanned. For this group 30% of tumors would have been missed had they received RT (IMRT) with only normal imaging (bone,

Prostap (Lupron) Effects
Diagnosed 11 years ago, I am T3b non-metastatic and have had one month of Bicalutamide and six months of Prostap (Lupron).

Start of 36 mo of ADT?
I started on 36 months of ADT in Feb 2020 (Neoadjuvant) followed by 44 sessions of IMRT from May 2020 to July 2020 with Continuous ADT from Feb to now. When does the 36 months start from? From the first injection in Feb or from the finish of IMRT in July. I’ve found conflicting answers on line.
