If he isnt already being treated at a top cancer center you may want to consider future treatments at one. They will know the latest treatment protocols and have the countrys top doctors. We have had several members who have had radiation more than once, so dont ever rule that out. In fact we have a couple members who have had it 3 times. Plus there is always brachytherapy as well.
Best wishes for continued good health for your husband.
