Hello everyone
My husband was diagnosed with locally advanced prostate cancer Gleason 8 on 20th December. I've put all his stats on my profile (with his permission).
He will be starting radiotherapy in 3 months . He has been offered the chance to go onto the PACE NODES trial which is 5 x stereotactic radiotherapy sessions on prostate /OR prostate and nodes.
We've read all the information but have concerns that as his cancer is high risk is this trial suitable for him as it has previously been trialled on low and intermediate risk Pc?
We are having a phone call about this tomorrow. Our heads are spinning with whether he opts for the tried and tested conventional radiotherapy versus the trial.
