Default Salvage Radiation latest update

My PSA came back at .01 or less at 5.5 months after completing the treatments. The test my doctor uses only goes down to .01 according to the nurse I spoke with this morning which contradicts what the doctor told me but what the heck.
My rectal issues have pretty much resolved themselves through the use of daily fiber each morning and a stool softener at night.

All is still good in the ED area as well and hopefully will continue.

I post this mainly for all those who might be considering or who may one day be faced with the salvage decision. With IMRT I think it is a good bet to go with salvage or adjuvant and if I had any adverse path findings after surgery I would reccomend it as soon as possible. If I had to do it over again I would have done it sooner.
