There are only four rules:

  • No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
  • No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
  • Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making

Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.

Re: undetectable PSA and bone mets ?

Jennie,

While I don't know the details of your husband's case, I couldn't disagree more that he is not a candidate for Radiation treatment.

From my point of view, that is only true when it has been confirmed that there is distant metastasis.

If there are known mets outside the pelvis, it doesn't matter what you do to the pelvic area. Elvis has left the building.

However, even with a high PSA and Gleason, if his bone scan and CT are clear, he may well benefit from whole pelvic IMRT.

Get another opinion.
Consult with a radiologic oncologist.
