Will be starting my salvage RT next week. Should have started 2 weeks ago by my consultant wanted a second opinion on my PET and MRI scan results.
The team who looked at the results couldn't see anything that would indicate the hotspot was a concern BUT recommended that they treat it anyway whilst I get the prostate bed and lymph nodes blasted.
They still can't see where the cause of my PSA rise is coming from.
Hello Towersaf0ffd
Radiotherapy isn't too bad - it's parking at the hospital and hanging around that takes your time up. Just in case you haven't seen it here's a link that may help:
What you wish you had known before starting Radiotherapy?
Like you I have had rising PSA and a biochemical recurrence, and although I still have my prostate the scans are unable to locate the exact source of the cancer. It's not bothered me as my treatment is reducing the PSA levels - it just makes me wonder why they can't locate it!
I wish you well with your treatment.
Best wishes - Brian.
