Update: One year after Proton SBRT my PSA level is 0.63 from 13.4 pre-treatment. I have yet to discuss this latest test with my RO, but I remain satisfied with my progress and do not regret foregoing ADT.

Glad to hear about your success without ADT. I just finished 28 SBRT treatments along with a 4 mth Eligard regime. I had a failed Hi-Fu at University of Chicago 2 years ago, so I decided to try Radiation . I reluctantly agreed to the ADT based on two different Dr's suggesting that Gleason 7, 4+3 ( Unfavorable) PSA 10, warrants it. I hate the side affects, they are life altering, chemically castrated, up at night 4-6 times consistently, hot flashes, fatigue and aches. I will never take another Eligard shot. I have no metastases, had no issues or side effects from SBRT, just wish I had done it your way as we seem to have the same numbers....Thanks for reading my rant

Can I ask what your Gleason score was? Age? Favorable or Unfavorable? Thanks...
