I don't understand why radiation would not be something that was a good idea for a Gleason 9 and also for post surgery. I have not had surgery and only recently had a nodule noted and tests indicate no lymph node involvement and I am starting initial radiation this coming week. My protocol will be IMRT to the pelvis area for 4 weeks and then Proton for an additonal 4 weeks.
I hope Rick changes his mind about further treatment and does not give in to this thing we all fight.
We will be thinking about you both this Mothers Dad.
