This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer. There are only four rules:
No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
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.

Bruce,
Take a 81 mg aspirin daily during the radiation time if your doctor agrees. One research paper suggested it significantly improves the result. For what its worth I felt completely energized while I was getting radiated for the 6 weeks (went snow skiing most days!); just the opposite of what a lot of people feel.
Salvage. 66 Greys, 2 Greys per day for 33 days. Pretty much the standard treatment plus hormone treatment for 6 months. Seems to have worked so far. Two years since salvage treatment and three years since prostatectomy and I was T3B with a 12.7 PSA.
