Prostate-Specific Antigen: Predicting for Biochemical Failure During Salvage Radiation Therapy After Prostatectomy
For anyone thinking about Salvage Radiation Treatment (SRT) this article makes the point that you should have your PSA measured before, during (25th session) and after treatment...my Doctor did not believe this was necessary; I see now that it was. Luckily I had my own tests done at ultra low levels

Urine retention.
Radiotherapy
for Intermediate Favourable seems successful 26 months later, PSA down to 0.83 and dropping each time so far. But I've noticed a weaker flow over the last few weeks and yesterday I was very ready to pee, but could not even produce a sample to test for infection.

How do I choose between Cyberknife (SBRT) monotherapy vs HDR Brachytherapy+EBRT?
M59, Gleason 4+3 (second opinion confirmed by Jonathan Epstein at John Hopkins), PSA7.8 average past 1 year, T2C stage. Haven't been operated or radiated before. Currently am being offered: 1) 5 fraction Cyberknife (SBRT) therapy that is concentrated to the prostate. 2) 1 time high dose rate Bracytherapy

I am just wondering what I can expect from those results and if adjuvant
radiotherapy
is still a good option or if I should just monitor my psa. Thanks for all the support during this first year.

some results in !
He said it doesn't look like surgery is an option at the moment and the probable course of action is
radiotherapy
and hormone but won't know for definite until the biopsy comes back .

He thinks that it is probably just more scarring from the
Radiotherapy
(I did receive 5 days worth of high exposure), but not 100% sure hence a PET scan to see if the tumour has become hot (active) again.

Salvage treatment
Hi everyone, After another pet scan and discussions with oncologist and a radiologist, I have started salvage radiation treatment 2 weeks ago and have 5 more to go. The pet scan was clear now but PSA has been smoothly steady rising since April 2020 after 2 years of undetected PSA. Anyone knows the prognosis

Hi, My post RP PSA has been 0.3 (6 wks), 0.3 (5 months) and just rose to 0.4 (8.5 months). My current plan is to wait 3 more months to see if PSA rises/doubles. My MO at MD Anderson (Houston) has presented two possible paths if PSA continues to rise (of course hoping it will go down): 1. If PSA rises

I also have mild Neutropenia at 1.4, and other low bloods, quite possibly from
radiotherapy
in my 20s,and whatever is going on at the moment. I'm a divorced man with no one to talk this over with i guess i'm just looking for people whom have had similar experiences to chat with.

Hi Frazzle You poor old thing!!! You've really been through the wringer, haven't you? Well you're in good company, I'm afraid - most of us here have similar stories to tell with difficulties making contact with our Drs and Neurologists, or Neuries as we call them. but unlike many, I can subscribe to
