I have an appt with Dr. Kamrava
I'm 18 months post HDR
Brachytherapy
(monotherapy) and my PSA is currently sitting at 0.4. He's of course going to look at all my medical records and give his opinion, but is there anything in specific I should be asking at this point? peace

Update on recent consult with MSK docs , comments , suggestions welcome
I’m getting an MRI to determine what sort of radiation is possible ie; can I have
brachytherapy
with supplemental external beam radiation or does the position or size of the tumor rule that out ? I think I am high risk due to PSA 61 three months back .

Brachytherapy HDR
Today Jim's RO from UCSF called and said the radiation board talked a long time and decided
Brachytherapy
HDR was appropriate. Jim will have two treatments at an overnight stay.

Still Waiting
Now I'm even more afraid they won't do the
Brachytherapy
. Does it seem unusual to not hear anything yet? Have they given up on Jim? Should we go elsewhere? I don't think I can get him to go to UCLA. Thanks, Again, for listening. Paula

Slight PSA Rise Immediately (two weeks) After HDR Brachytherapy
Started ADT plus Zytiga two months prior to HDR
Brachytherapy
. PSA went from 10.53 to 0.7 to 0.35. I had HDR Brachy on 26-Jul-2021. Labs on 11-Aug-2021 all WNL but PSA bumped up to 0.45. Has anyone else seen a small increase in PSA right after HDR Brachy.

PSA Anxiety and Intermittent ADT for Metastatic Prostate Cancer
First treatment in 2011
brachytherapy
for Gleason 3 + 3 low volume prostate cancer. In 2016-17 cyberknife with 9 month ADT for extra capsular recurrence. In 2018, PET/CT scan finds metastatic cancer in multiple pelvic and abdominal lymph nodes.

Lupron vacation. Include casodex?
After 13 years, radiation, ADT, recurrence,
brachytherapy
, recurrence, and more ADT PSA is below detection limits. I suppose it’s Jodi ding in my SV waiting to start again but for now the PCA is asleep. Hope to start a Lupron vacation - Get my joints back, stop hobbling, do some ski touring.

[M59][EU] Why the recurrence rate% is so high even with brachytherapy+external beam for prostate cancer?
I can't understand what makes cancer return even when people use
brachytherapy
and combine it with external beam radiation. The external beam for the pelvis area should take care of micro-mets, no?

Finally Starting Treatment
IMRT will follow after two or three months of ADT, that followed by either low or high
brachytherapy
. Is there anything missing here to get the best outcome?

Still Waiting on Radiation
Also, they may consider going back to
brachytherapy
if they can't do EBRT. Which I wish they would have just stuck with that plan, not sure why they changed it. I am going to contact our RO at UCSF if this local RO is unable to proceed. Any thoughts on our situation? Thank you Paula

Radiation Treatments at MSKCC (NYC)
Same questions for HD and LD
brachytherapy
? Is MSKCC better for one of these options or is it considered excellent for both? Thanks in advance for any replies.

Tylex Intro
Due to the intraductal component, I chose to go with ADT plus Zytiga with HDR
Brachytherapy
(7/26/2021). EBRT scheduled to start 8/23/2021.
