Treatment Update IMRT with ADT 18 months later
Follow up 18 months later. I am due for another ADT injection in December. Spoke to the Urologist and he feels 18months is enough keeping with the European standard while the Oncologist would like me to stay the course and do the full 2 years. I am in favor of 18 months also, that would be nice. Still

Some hopeful test news:🙏🏻
He’s been on generic Zytiga and prednisone and Lupron and finished six weeks of
IMRT
. Three months after the
IMRT
his PSA dropped to .07 and now it’s .01. We all live from test to test and I just hope and pray the good news keeps coming. He’s only 50 years old and he’ll be 51 in August.

1st post-IMRT PSA = 2.1
I completed
IMRT
on 5/22/23. My last recorded PSA from 1/23 was 4.31. My 1st PSA draw on 8/22/23 came back 2.12. I've read and have been told that PSA doesn't go down immediately with radiation, unlike surgery, and can take up to 2 years to hit its nadir.

Unexpected Dive in PSA
Started taking Orgovyx on 9/11 and began
IMRT
(37 fractions, 70-78gy to prostate, SIB boost to 85-90gy) on 9/28. Had my PSA checked again on 10/10 and it is now 2.07 (!). No complaints, but I wasn't quite prepared for the sharp dive in PSA. Any ideas why this is the case?

Newly diagnosed researching lifestyle changes
My personal option is radiation such as
IMRT
or Cyberknife, however I have not made any appointments with any Doctors yet for a targeted biopsy to get Gleason score, I am grateful to have found lot's of good Youtube videos and articles.

Imaging Guidelines - Salvage IMRT Planning
I'm OK with the extent of the treatment proposed, which is 5 weeks of
IMRT
(VMAT) to the prostatic fossa and pelvic LNs. However, I'm not confident with the accuracy of radiation delivery to the target area.

New bone met
I saw there is SBRT and
IMRT
. Are these appropriate options? Please let me know if anyone has done a radiation treatment for an isolated bone spot. --Trish

What is Your Opinion on Docetaxel Added to Doublet Therapy for Early Oligorecurrent Metaststic M1a Prostate Cancer?
He went on doublet with Lupron/Abi/Pred and we made the personal decision to pursue extended pelvic
IMRT
with boost to avid nodes.

My son’s Testosterone results:
He also finished up six weeks of
IMRT
middle of March 2022. Two months after the surgery his PSA was 22. The PC had spread to some of the pelvic lymph nodes but PSMA Pet Scan showed no further Mets, but the PC is Tertiary 5 so high risk. Thank you everybody for your help and input.

Why ADT after Ray treatment?
So for all of us who decide to take the ADT path for a few months to stabilize our PCa and then hit it with the big guns such as a month (or more) of
IMRT
and in my case a follow-up of HDR Brachy Boost therapy, Why do we need to follow up with more of the dreaded ADT?

My son’s PSA rose a bit today.
Two months later his PSA jumped to 22 .He’s been taking his medicine since last December January, and also completed six weeks of
IMRT
middle of March. I’ve attached his PSA all the way from 22 down to <.01 3 months ago. And now today’s PSA bumped up a little bit to <.10 .

SIB/Flame Protocol
He recommends
IMRT
to target prostate, seminal vesicles and low pelvic lymph nodes (flame protocol). 37 fractions, 70-78 Gy to prostate and SIB boost to 85-90 Gy. Anyone else experience this technique?

SBRT for whole pelvis radiation therapy?
I have seen 2 different radiation oncologists (ROs) in the Seattle area, and both have told me that the only option for pelvic radiation is
IMRT
, not SBRT.
