What a trip that was last week. These are my notes....ya gotta be a secretary to keep it all straight!
Radiation oncology. Maybe local radiotherapy.
Back to original plan for waiting.
Q; if cancer has metastasized to lymph nodes, it's just moved. This is why still rising PSA readings. If they radiate, based on evidence of rising PSA and enlarged lymph nodes. Could potentially eradicate it. Radiation, if that's all the disease, can potentially cure him. Can put him disease free. May be reluctant without definite evidence: biopsy. Couldn't see anything.
CT scan showed enlargement, too.
Could do a CT-guided biopsy. No tissue diagnosis. Ruled everything else out.
Real plus is if that's the only site, could get rid of it.
Control is pretty good, andigen can keep it in check for 5 - 10 years.
