What to do next after RP and RT?
I underwent 37 sessions of
IMRT
beginning in July. My post-RP PSA was .01. My post-
IMRT
PSA is undetectable as of two months ago—I’m scheduled for another test in January. All this seems like very good news, but I don’t want to let down my guard. My question is should I continue ADT anyway?

PSA Velocity
PSA velocity - I'm post SRT along with
IMRT
( 40 hits ) Started Lupron on 5/2/17 was on it for about 1 yr - the last injection was 2/2018 All along that time my PSA was Nidar Just had a PSA test on 12/17/2018 - and it was .19 So that could mean a 14 basis point increase if Nadir is .05 or less.

Question - residual PSA after treatment
Mine would probably be higher since I had RT (
IMRT
) and ADT. I would take those odds.

Radiation Proctitis and Anal Sex?
Three years after
IMRT
to the prostate and pelvic lymph nodes I had a colonoscopy and the report contained images of the procedure, two of which that showed the rectum were labeled 'radiation proctitis'.

PSMA Scan at NIH Day 1 of 2
(RP in 2011,
IMRT
in 2015, BCR 02/2018). Today was day 1 of 2 with the actual PSMA Pet Scan tomorrow. This morning they took blood and gave me an MRI with Endorectal Coil (not fun) and gave me the results at noon. The MRI was clear showing no involvement in lymph nodes, bone or soft tissue.

Intermittent blood in urine starts 8/2017; cystoscopy - 10/2017 -- all clear; more BIU, followed by CT 1/29/2018; bladder, etc., clear; but a bit of "scarring" seen. Radonc says "scarring" totally usual post radiation.

IMRT side effects?
Supposed to start
IMRT
in a couple of wks. 25 sessions. Followed by brachytherapy. Reactions to these procedures? Dos? Don'ts. Short term side effects? Long term? I want to know what to expect. Ed

Practical suggestions post EBRT and seeds
I start
IMRT
soon; followed by "booster" seeds shortly thereafter. To those of you who have been through this: what should I expect? what products have you used for continence and bowel "issues"?

My dad fought to the end 💔
To Denzie and all those of you who fought for my dad to get
IMRT
, words cannot thank you enough. You all made a difference in my dad’s fight. You all made a strong man cry when he got the call that morning that he was approved and his denial was overturned.
