Radiation
I had the standard IMRT for my pca back in 2013. I was told it was a lifetime dose. Is that true with the newer forms of radiation treatment? I am faced with starting a six dose regimen of taxotere now since ADT does not seem to be working according to PSMA scans. My psa remains at 1.8 even though the

ART ASCO GU 2023: Testosterone Recovery Following Androgen Suppression and Prostate Radiotherapy (TRANSPORT)
There are many studies that show TET recovery for men treated with RT and ADT. Most show delay is correlated to the time spent under ADT treatment. I have seen some posts that purport 5 year [u]average timeframes[/u]; this appeared excessive. This study provides better data and timeframes that are

New bone met
I have a consult with radiation oncologist on Wednesday and wanted to ask if any of you have had very targeted radiation therapy to one small new spot on bone when your systemic treatment (Ibrance and Letrozole) is still working on other mets. I saw there is SBRT and IMRT. Are these appropriate options

Advice
Radiotherapy
is being discussed with the MDT but unlikely apparently due to the risks of swelling after treatment and the cystic appearance. A bit anxious about going down the surgery route. Any advice or experience would be greatly recieved.

sessions and three hormone injections of Decapeptyl Sr from 13th June 2022, in the result I did not have Prostate Cancer, but the damage caused to my pectus carinatum/pigeon chest osteoporosis was serious,

Also, I am wondering if anyone with HR+/HER2- stage 1 invasive ductal carcinoma with no lymph node involvement removed through lumpectomy followed by 3 weeks of
radiotherapy
has just chosen not to take the anti-estrogen meds and what led you to that decision. thanks for an insights!

Silicon Cock Rings and Blood In My Pee!
Do any of my fellow unfortunate PC travellers out there know if using a stretchy silicon cock ring could aggravate the post-RP scar tissue and radiation enhanced vascularity in my bladder neck/urethra so much so that I get blood in my urine. Been using fairly tight stretchy silicone rings for a few

Incontinence after RP and ADT
I have had 37 sessions of
radiotherapy
and am in month 16 of 18 hormone therapy in the UK. My incontinence seemed to solve itself around 12 months after RP but never fully. In the past 12 months I still suffer from minor involuntary incontinence.

Does anyone else get the abdominal aches that last weeks after a flare up?
I had
radiotherapy
as part of treatment for rectal cancer back in 2020 and have LARS in combination with PRD. My main symptoms are bowel-related (urgency, clustering, overnight incontinence) and they seem to be getting worse with time.

Radiotherapy Completed
Yesterday I completed my 25 daily blasts of fractionated stereotactic
radiotherapy
. Woohoo! No more daily commutes to Chelsea Marsden. Can't say I've had any side effects so far, although my tinnitus seems slightly louder this morning while listening to the radio.

lungwort
I was recently diagnosed with lung cancer and I’m having
radiotherapy
at this time. My daughter saw a supplement called Lungwort which she thought might help me. I bought it but I’m now a bit worried about taking it in case it does me harm.

Aorto-caval lymph nodes
Has anyone had radiation treatment to the aorto-caval lymph nodes? I have mildly avid nodes there that are not responding to Lupron. My RO wants to treat the entire area, not just spot treat with Cyberknife. He seems confident he can safely treat the area.

Can pelvic radiation therapy cause hemochromatosis? I went through 44 days of EBRT and six months later diagnosed with hemochromatosis which I've never had in my 73 years.
