Thanks alot for the reply Dave and very sorry to hear of your situation.
Yes, we are both in a limbo of sorts, I can find almost nothing about studies after RP and then radiation.
In your case why did they not radiate shortly after surgery. Have they confirmed metastsis of the cancer elsewhere?
Best to you. Scott
Hi Scott,
Yes - there is confirmation of matastsis but they don't know where. Nothing could be found in bone scans, MRI.... all they know is it was in my lymph nodes and many nerves were lost.
I guess because they couldn't pinpoint where it was they couldn't be sure where to radiate.
I have asked my doctor so many questions and he always tries to give an accurate answer but it seems as though there are alot of unknowns still.
wish you the best,
Dave B.
