Radiate just the prostate when there is extensive lymph node involvement?
When I was first diagnosed a year ago, the radiation oncologist said that he would not radiate me because I had retroperitoneal lymph nodes which were too close to the aorta. He said radiating the prostate alone would do no god since I have extensive lymph node involvement. So I have been on Zytiga +

Rectal douching after EBERT
Wondering what others have experienced and/or been told about rectal douching after radiation therapy. I am assuming this would be dependent on the level of damage done to the rectum by treatment. One book I read said you should never douche after EBERT period. That seemed a bit extreme... I have

The impact of salvage radiotherapy
I have been referred by my surgeon to an oncologist and have been advised by them that as my PSA level is .16 I may need
radiotherapy
depending on next result. I am also having an investigation of my colon as I get IBS as well and
radiotherapy
might not be appropriate.

Berberine
There has been discussion about berberine, but I didn't see this 2015 study posted, so I thought I'd share: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4278877/ Abstract Background: Over 70% of cancer metastasis from prostate cancer develops bone metastases that are not sensitive to hormonal therapy

Long-Term Incidence of Secondary Bladder and Rectal Cancer in Patients Treated With Brachytherapy for Localized Prostate Cancer
Saw this on PracticeUpdate web site. There's been a lot of debate about RP vs RT (and still ongoing).
