ADT with radiation?
I have a G 4+3, considered to be unfavorable intermediate risk, but a Decipher score of .4, considered to be low risk. I have opted to have radiation to treat my PCa. Do I need to take ADT with the radiation therapy? My MO suggested 4 to 6 months of Orgavix (not sure if I'm spelling it correctly). If

Dad just diagnosed, looking for advice
He's been given a lot of information to read and he will be meeting with his care team again soon to decide on a treatment plan - the treatment options being considered are active surveillance,
radiotherapy
/hormones, focal therapy, and robotic radical prostatectomy.

Is it PSA recurrence or not...
My friend had a radical prostatectomy a year ago. Since then his monthly PSA results were stable, at 0.006 3 months ago his PSA went from 0.006 to 0.012, then the next month to 0.029. His MO wanted to see the third month's results in order to consider salvage radiation therapy. Luckily, third month's

Barrigel is now preferred over "SpaceOAR" gel?
Consulted by video with the doctor who is supposed to install my SpaceOAR in preparation for my IMRT. His first words were "we don't use SpaceOAR gel anymore. We use Barrigel." He explains it has fewer side effects but the same radiation absorption characteristics. Here is what "UroToday" says:

question about chemo for recurring tumour
He has had an enlarged biopsy, a removal of tumour,
radiotherapy
x 2, months of TMZ and avastin. We’ve had 6 months of stable scans and no chemo which has been amazing. Recent scan showed regrowth and the oncologist is recommending lomustine and avastin.

I posted about a month ago and didn't get any responses. I think it might be because I didn't have much information in the Profile section. I've updated my profile and did the best I can to describe my story. I had HDR Brachytherapy in 2018 to treat prostate cancer. The specifics are now in my Profile

Full body MRI?
We’ve been reading about full body MRIs and wonder if anyone has had one after radiation treatment for prostate cancer? Can this type of test pick up micro metastases? If the full body scan was “all clear” could ADT be shortened from 2 years to a lower amount?

Whatever little information I have read seem to indicate that
radiotherapy
is more likely to cause anal/rectal issues. Hence I am feeling very confused. Of course I like the idea of not having surgery( and resultant scars.. I am Asian and tend to scar badly).

Rare Case of Recurrent Cutaneous CLL in the Extremity: Long-Term Follow-Up and Literature Review, Written with the Assistance of ChatGPT
The original case study was from 2001, so treatment was well before the availability targeted CLL therapies and
radiotherapy
contributed to curing the blisters. The case study is also an example of how ChatGPT can be used to make such reports more understandable.

Radiotherapy
I start a course of
radiotherapy
on Monday (31st July). I have a very dry sore mouth and eyes and painful joints. Did anyone else have any other of these side effects? My other question is what should I expect from the
radiotherapy
? Did anyone have any side effects. I’m 59 and in the UK.
