Next Move?
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.

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.

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

Delayed Rib Pain After SBRT
I had 5 rounds of SBRT to a rib met discovered through PSMA scan.I had no SE during or after the radiation therapy except for mild fatigue. But a few days ago I started experiencing pain in my rib cage area where I had the radiation. Not serious pain just achiness. The last round of SBRT treatment

Newly Diagnosed
Got the diagnosis last week I had Gleason 7 (4+3) adenocarcinoma in right mid prostate (70% of tissue) and 7 (4+3) in right apex (60%of tissue). Rest of prostate is benign. MRI revealed the lesions are in the transition zone (TZ). Just waiting for the PET scan to determine whether it has metastasized

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.
