Early chemotherapy vs waiting.
He had
Prostatectomy
on February 2011 and Radiation after a rising psa of 0.5 2014 His PSA on Sep was 8.7 and thank God it is down to 0.1 The million dollar question is... will it be a good time to start chemotherapy now or to wait?

GOOD NEWS - NEW TREATMENT APPROACH
But she also wants me to have either radiation to the prostate, a
prostatectomy
or both. The theory being that perhaps they can significantly slow the growth of the cancer or kill it.

Medicare B not covering Keytruda
I was diagnosed in 2007 (yeah, ten years ago) and had a robotic
prostatectomy
that November - they almost got it all. Gleason 5+4=9.

Dad recently diagnosed
He was offered a radical
prostatectomy
(Trombone trial) as he has limited metastasis but has opted not to have this. The results of his Trus biopsy were inconclusive so he was sent for a template biopsy. His Gleasons score is 8 and his staging T3N0M1.

Should I consider Proton Therapy
I am 75 and otherwise in good shape, I had Radical
Prostatectomy
in 2015 now 2 years and 3 months later my PSA has been rising, presently on Hormone meds (Casodex) to reduce PSA then should I go with Radiation or the much greater expense (for lodging etc) and have Proton-therapy 350 miles away?

I'm new here
I'm currently in Mazatlan, Mx, where the only option is open
prostatectomy
. I've talked with 2 Urologists and the biopsy MD. I have Medicare A, won't have B until July1.

Looking for some guidance...
as a quick summary : he is Stage 4 (metastatic/involvement in two of the four lymph nodes that were harvested during the
prostatectomy
). Scans were clear (for bone mets/organs) as of July 21. He received his first injection of Eligard on Sept.27.

Decision time
One year ago I had a radical
prostatectomy
at Mayo Clinic in Rochester by a very accomplished surgeon. Had one lymph node that was cancerous and recent PSA was .20. Radiation therapy is option. Should I do this at Mayo or come back to local hospital where I am not certain about quality?

Sexual Activity after Prostatectomy
I've seen a number of questions related to anal intercourse after
prostatectomy
. Generally I see folks respond that waiting around six months is a good idea, to allow for healing. This got my attention the other day and I thought I'd post for reactions.
