Salvage radiation + ADT and penile implants
Posted: Tue Jun 14, 2022 10:03 pm
A question for those of you with prostate cancer:
Had a radical prostatectomy 15 months ago. PSA is not 'non-detectable' and has been rising. So the doctors are recommending a 6-month course of salvage radiation with ADT. Am seriously considering implant but not sure if I should try and have it done before the radiation or wait until after. From what I have read/heard, apparently performing surgery on radiated tissues can be problematic.
Any one else out there dealing with this issue? Thoughts?
