How do I choose between Cyberknife (SBRT) monotherapy vs HDR Brachytherapy+EBRT?
After all my case has a rather high recurrence rate after Radical
Prostatectomy
according to nonograms, however if lymph nodes are radiated, doesn't that lower the risk dramatically? And how can Cyberknife compared in efficacy when it radiates only the prostate?

Low testosterone & lymphnodal invasion.
Late in the last century, Patrick Walsh at Johns Hopkins discovered that a year after
prostatectomy
, T levels had increased. The conclusion being that cancer in the prostate was able to influence T production. [2] This study was reproduced in Australia & somewhere else.

Bioquimical recurrence after PRP, rescue radiation and now?
Prostatectomy
(Da Vinci) in february 2017. Recurrence in December 2019 (psa:0.21 ng/ml). PET/PSMA show the prostate bed and one lymph node were illuminated. 28 session of radiation was given (august 2020) to the prostate area (61 Gy) and the dose increased (63 Gy) to the PSMA uptake area.

Thoughts on upcoming treatment of recurrence?
Prostatectomy
08/2016, SRT 07/2019. Thoughts and side effects to expect? Thanks in advance!

New Member - Building Muscle Mass
Had a radical
prostatectomy
in March and while initial scans have shown no spread of the cancer, the tumor had broken through the capsule wall. PSA prior to surgery was only around 4.1 and post surgery so far it is undetectable (end of May).

SBRT to cure local bone metastasis
Prostatectomy
done before 2 and half year. PSA remains stable for 2 year and stared rising since last December 2020. Done PSMA PET yesterday at PSA value 4.1 and report shows bone metastatic at sclerotic lesion in right pubic bone. As per two uro onco it a very small dot and localised.

Symbicort 400, Warfarin, Lung function test query
Nevertheless I have to continue to take Warfarin for the rest of my life due to having had a
prostatectomy
11 years ago. Does that sound right? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Zytiga - Abiraterone - To take or not to take right now
I had a radical
prostatectomy
over 6 years ago. 5 years later, on Dec 2020 I was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer. I had a mass on the prostatic wall and tumors and nodules that had spread in several parts of the body including bone lesions in the femur, sacrum and the left clavicle.

Adjuvant Radiation Therapy After Radical Prostatectomy Decreases All-Cause Mortality
PURPOSE Adjuvant compared with early salvage radiation therapy (sRT) following radical
prostatectomy
(RP) has not been shown to reduce progression-free survival in randomized controlled trials.

Afraid to take Xtandi
Had a radical
prostatectomy
in 2004, 38 radiation treatments in 2010. Now his recent PSA is 3.0 and bone Mets in the pelvic area. I am frightened for him too, not only if he starts taking Xtandi but also if he doesn’t.

My journey with PCa
I elected to have robotic radical
prostatectomy
at the end of March 2020. My prostate, semilvascial and 11 lymph nodes were removed. 1 lymph node contained cancer. My grading was T3bN1. I postponed further treatment until I healed and recovered from incontinence (got to zero pads).

Will the need to pee five or six times per night ever end?
I had 42 follow-up radiation treatments which ended about nine months after the
prostatectomy
. I suffered terrible urinary leakage for two years, soaking six or more depends daily until I had a urinary sling put in. Basically, it failed so I had an artificial spinchter installed.

Radiation or RP for capsular contact?
Prostate is around 35 cc so SBRT is still a good option as is radical
prostatectomy
. My MP-MRI showed a 5 mm capsular contact. A surgeon says he can still likely save the nerves on that side but if there is any doubt he will have to cut into the nerves on that side.

Radical Prostatectomy vs External Beam Radiation Therapy for High-Grade, Clinically Localized Prostate Cancer
We therefore emulated a hypothetical target clinical trial of radical
prostatectomy
(RP) versus external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) for high-grade, clinically localized prostate cancer.

Finally joining in...
After radical
prostatectomy
, clinical trial of chemo, and external beam radiation, the psa slowly rose until about 4 years ago, when I began Lupron injections. The psa went down, and has risen to a current 2.5. In a few weeks I will meet with my urologist and make a plan for the next treatment.
