I had my six month post op PSA test, this time the more sensitive one. It came back at 0.08. Given my Gleason score and EPE I am again thinking that I should probably have additional treatment. I had my surgery at JH but am thinking that I would like to find someone closer for radiation. Anyone have a good experience with a practice within the DC metro area?

You have many excellent facilities available near D.C. Dr. Hong at Virginia Hospital Center is in Arlington, and is just terrific. We were very pleased with the facility, the staff and the care provided. They have the Calypso equipment that minimizes side effects--which was the deciding factor to have RT there.

While folks are in recommendations mode, I could use some recommendations on experienced Radiation Oncos in Chicago area

I need them to deal with prostate, prostate bed and pelvic lymph nodes (only 3 micro but would treat the entire area to get their successors too small to see also).

DYank thank you for the suggestion. I am trying to find someone in the Maryland part of the area so that I can minimize my travel time. It may end up impossible to avoid being stuck in traffic.

Thanks again,
Tom
