Still worried but currently still castrate sensitive
Should I relax being Gleason 9 received radiation therapy and ADT with last blood test result <0.1 or consider going on Docetaxel and/or Zytiga with my current first generation ADT?

Small PSA rise after radiation: should I worry?
However, my most recent PET scan before the
radiotherapy
showed no "hot spots" apart from the two pelvic lymph nodes, right-side and left-side. I welcome your thoughts.

Next stage of treatment
Next week I will progress to the second stage of treatment following initial diagnosis in February with PSA at 64 and thee mets (two small). Hormone treatment (zoladex and xtandi) have brought PSA down to 0.04 and testosterone to undetectable. So on Tuesday I will have the first weekly radiation treatment

Radiotherapy
Have been offered
radiotherapy
instead of surgery as near blood vessels behind my right kidney. After speaking with me by phone stated I would need to attend hosp daily for five weeks to receive treatment which only takes a few min.

Swollen legs and ankles
I had breast cancer 8 years ago and was wondering if it might be connected to that since I had
radiotherapy
and a couple of lymph nodes removed. I have permanent AF and am on quite a few meds.

Rising PSA despite salvage radiotherapy.
I have posted before but may be a short introduction helps. I am 71 yo and was dx of Gleason 6 back in May 2019 with PSA 10.5. Had my RARP in Toronto (Princess Margaret Hospital) in Oct 2019. I did not have lymph node exploration because the urologist did not feel that I needed it with Gleason 6. Pathology

Please help with father's treatment options
The oncologist has suggested chemo and
radiotherapy
, but I can't tell if that's the best option for someone so 'young'? Thanks so much and sorry for the length!
