Dave , I have had two separate lymph nodes treated with 5 SABR sessions on two separate occasions.
My profile does have some info. The PSA dropped after the first tumor was treated but then started to rise. A second PSMA scan showed that the tumor was shrinking but they found a second tumor. The second tumor was then treated in August 2023 but the PSA started to rise again. I also had six months of Bicalutamide with the second course of SABR treatment.
At a PSA of 1.4 a third PSMA did not show anything of significance.
So it looks like the SABR was useful but I still have something lurking in there. Next blood test in a couple of days and see oncologist next week.
I have not had any side effects from the two lots of SABR. We took advantage of my wife's health insurance for the second course and as long as they keep paying and the oncologist agrees I am happy to keep repeating it. The NHS do/ did has a policy of not treating more than 3 hot spots.
Hope all goes well.
Thanks Chris
