First Post Radiation PSA+Lupron shot

I just wanted to give an update. My PSA is at 0.02. Next appointment + Lupron shot in 4 months .

Asked the RO many questions about SE and diet,etc. but the thing I am most concerned about and have been is that since I didn't qualify for BRACHY boost maybe I could get a chemo boost, especially since I'm G9. I read of a couple studies that with higher aggressive PC it can be beneficial. I thought the studies showed a benefit even if the PC is encapsulated, which in my case odds are that it is probably out of the barn but no one really knows.
This was a comment that was on my Bx report that was read at Virginia Mason."Although no definitive extra prostatic extension is identified, perineural
invasion by tumor is present 0.20 mm from mature adipocytes, raising concern for
this possibility." I'm looking for some input as My RO did set me up with a MO because he would know more about this.

If I remember (which is getting more difficult these days) it seem to me that Calijr had a chemo boost.

I'm greatful for the PSA test results and promised my RO that I would give her 39 day of 15 minutes walking,the same amount of time it took for my radiation.... I wanted to ask her if I needed to have a full bladder when I walked but didn't.

Anyways Thanks for all your support and keep on with the battle!
