Prostate cancer returned after 8 years
I remember being on this forum 8+ years ago and received amazing information and help. I had robotic surgery which was very successful. PSA levels were fine all of these years. My PSA was .02 and Urologist sent me last week for a PET scan. Showed it is now in lymph node of rectum. Appointment next week with Radiation Oncologist for salvage radiation. Anyone have any experiences to share?
Hi
. Thank you for the kind words and so glad the site was previously helpful. That said, so sorry you are looking at a recurrence. I can't personally speak on recurrence, but I want to share with you some articles and stories on the topic, such as https://prostatecancer.net/stories/i-knew-it-was-going-to-happen and https://prostatecancer.net/stories/my-story-2 and https://prostatecancer.net/living/survivor-life-after-treatment. I hope this information is helpful and that others chime in with their experiences. In addition, after you meet with the radiation oncologist please feel free to keep us posted and ask additional questions. Wishing you the best and know that this community is here for you.
