Doctor Explains Radiation for Rising PSA after Prostate Cancer Surgery

Salvage radiation, or a curative treatment after prostate cancer recurrence, is like taking a second bite at the apple. It’s a unique opportunity for cure, and not common to other cancer types.

this whole thing taking month after month after month and waiting waiting waiting is what gets me. The bills make it through the mail in plenty of time however. On a video note, this was very informative on why the bladder must be full and the rectum be empty. They didnt explain that to me. There is a 'premium' information fee if I want to know anything more than 'come in and lay there' appointment info. and THAT I think is very very wrong.

Is it true that radiation must not be used on a prostate cancer patient who happens to also have bladder cancer?
