If you have minimal disease you could be a candidate for very localized
radiotherapy
which could control the disease for a reasonable time. Another approach would be to restart anti testosterone therapy which would need to be continued indefinitely.

Rash from RT?
My husband is on Radiation treatment 31 of 45. Diagnosed with Gleason 7 (4+3), PSA 4.9 with all indications that it is contained in the prostate, negative bone scan, etc;. My question is, he is getting an itchy rash and some puffiness in his pubic area just above his privates. Has anyone experienced

My PSA seems to be definitely on the move, latest is 0.11 up from 0.085 taken 3 months ago, full history is in my profile. I am sure SRT is now on the cards. There seems to be much to consider about dose (64-70Gy), target area (prostate bed with or without lymph nodes) and short term ADT, which is summarised

TURP and Prostatectomy
I am looking at a prostatectomy, but I had a TURP 8 yrs ago. How does this change the risk factors and my potential quality of life for a prostatectomy? If I did radiation therapy, they would like me to have another TURP to remove some of the prostate that is growing into the bladder before starting

I was diagnosed with breast cancer last March had surgery, chemo and
radiotherapy
. Towards end of chemo started with severe back pain which oncologist was great at following up. Long story short after pet scan, mri and bone scans then ultrasound they found a large complex cyst on my right ovary.

Groin pain
I had intense radiation therapy 6 months ago and all seems to be going well; however, a dull pain (sometimes pretty intense) has developed in my right groin. I can’t think of any way that I might have injured this area, and I’m wondering if there is any correlation with my treatment.

IBRT/SBRT Radiation and ADT
I have heard so many horrifying things here about adverse reactions to those who were prescribed ADT in conjunction with or shortly after radiation treatment. Has anyone forgone taking ADT therapy or does that ruin any progress made from radiation? I have read there is no evidence ADT actually improves

PSA increasing during radiation treatment
Hi all, Please refresh my memory. Can PSA increase during radiation treatment due to cancer cells dying off? Last month 0.14 and today 0.26. On day #4 of radiation treatment. Thanks!

As there had only been one lesion seen on lower left lung I was offered
radiotherapy
. After last scan which showed another lesion adjacent to the first, I am told that '
radiotherapy
is off the table'. At present awaiting conclusions of MDT.

28 day versus 3 monthly Zoladex side effect -
I know it’s a bit unusual to have the monthly ones for long but it just happened with me as they weren’t sure if I could cope with the standard 18-24 months ADT due to my other conditions but seems I am probably able to - so going for it, given my G9 high risk and
radiotherapy
course.

Nsclc stage 4 with brain mets
He started chemo and
radiotherapy
in Jan and was told although not curative they could help manage and prolong his life. We felt positive as it was two singular tumours, although fairly large, there was just one in the lung and one in the brain.
