I had posted a while back about my husband. He had been in a clinical trial and they finally told him it was a “failure”… His PSA has been continuing to go the whole time he was on the trial. We had a meeting with the Oncologist Radiologist on the 26^th of January and had his first of 33 IMRT treatments today!! YAY!!! I hope this

works! The radiologist says he has a 50% chance it’s just in the prostate bed I sure hope so….

Please keep us posted. Several of us here have finished IMRT recently, so we know what he is going through. I hope his time goes quickly and without any bad side effects, and most of all, hope he's in the 50% bracket that is on the cure side.

Wish him the best and will be thinking of both of you. Still not sure what the mushroom is, but sure know what IMRT stands for. Be blessed.
