Considering HDR Brachy, any recommendations for doctors in the San Francisco Bay Area?
Met with one Dr. who recommended one day HDR Brachy and 5 weeks
IMRT
. Hearing CarverD's positive experience and noting slightly higher cure rates than EBRT, I want to take a closer look at this option. Any recommendations for doctors who specialize in this located in the San Francisco Bay Area?

Proton Radiation to Thoracic Vertebra
I seem to have a recurrence after 2006 seeds and
IMRT
. After an Axumin scan, rhPSMA scan, and whole-body mpMRI, the only spot found is on the left pedicle (a small bone off the back of the vertebra) of the T8 vertebra. I am completely asymptomatic. My RO does both SBRT and Proton.

I'm new here, High Decipher Score still good for SBRT
RO wants to do ST hormone and
IMRT
. I asked about SBRT and both my Urologist and RO (same Company,
IMRT
only) said the high risk does not make me a good candidate.

Finished radiation
IMRT
. Not much in the way of side effects. Bit of an occasional mild burning sensation during urination. The hardest part was hitting the facility with a full bladder and an empty rectum at 11:00 am every day. I'll get PSA and testosterone test in a couple of weeks.

Trying to decide if I will continue ADT after 9 months.
Started on bicalutimide and
IMRT
. Then added Lupron and 28 sessions ofIMRT last 2 with brachy boost. Then did HDR brachytherapy two separate days, two treatments each day. Had follow up visit three months later at which time PSA was .03. Am now scheduled for a 3 month Lupron injection April 1st.

why can't he stay on casodex forever and ever amen!?
here's our unusual situation: -husband had RALP & undetectable PSAs for 17 months before it started to rise again -then he had
IMRT
(70 Gy in 35 fractions at 2 Gy per day) & Bicalutamide 150mg per day which lasted 11 months before his PSA started to rise again here's the tricky part, while planning

Stage 4 initial recommendation Docetaxel and ADT
My urologist recommended ADT and
IMRT
to all sites. I'm inclined to have more faith in MD Anderson. Any thoughts?

Stopping Xtandi due to Neuropathy
He said let’s monitor my PSA with just Eligard for a while and said with the
IMRT
I had in 4/2020 I may be ok for a while. My PSA has been < 0.1 and Testosterone undetectable.

First Follow Up on MyTestosterone Trial
So I did hemipelvis
IMRT
, 64 Gy with boost to the 2 nodes. Adjuvant ADT for 6 months (Firmagon plus Estradiol patches.) For over a year after completing this my PSA slowly decreased down to 0.080 (from 0.28) But my testosterone did not recover above around 100.

2nd radiation potential
Could
IMRT
or Proton target just the large lymph nodes and slow down the spread? Realize it is systemic spread but thinking it might help to hit the hot spots with another dose of radiation. Or would risk to organs be too high? Any thoughts?

Finding a good Medical Team
Took another 3 weeks to see radiation oncologist who indicates
IMRT
in 2-3 months and received firmagon. Seems he only does the radiation and the other partners drive the care. I seem to call a lot with very slow responses and am frustrated at how long each appointment is taking.

PSA on the Move
Kwon and I agreed to 18 months of ADT, six cycles of taxotere and 25 more
IMRT
to the PLNs with boosts and wider margins around the four identified in the C11 Choline scan. PSA dropped to undetectable with the first 90 day Lupron and the first two cycles of taxotere.

Can prostate still bleed after Radiation Treatments (HDRBT and IMRT)?
I remember reading that prostate becomes hard as a rock once fried by HDRBT and
IMRT
, if this is accurate, can it still bleed? Does it shed any tissue or fiber that comes out through urination?

SBRT for High Risk PC
vastly superior to EBRT-only in high and intermediate risk men, although urinary toxicity was also higher: https://www.prostatecancer.news/2017/03/brachy-boost-gold-standard-for.html I think the new trial would randomize men to either: (A) Brachy boost therapy: ADT+46 Gy/28 fractions of whole-pelvic
