    Hi Holloben1.

    I didn't have this myself, but a colleague had follow up radiotherapy after RP and it did the trick!

    I'm not sure if you've found the Prostate Cancer UK website, but it's worth looking there for information.  They also have a forum and you may find someone there's who been through what you're about go through.  Meanwhile, they have an excellen radiotherapy information page here.

    Best wishes
