Are you glad you went with that procedure? I'm considering that too.

Absolutely. I was 4+3=7 in one core, 3+3 in one other, with a Decipher of .84. Dr gave me 5 fraction of 7.25 grays with a boost to 40 gray at the primary lesion. Also used urethral steering to minimize radiation "hot spots" to the urethra to minimize GU side effects. Had a Barrigel spacer placed. I am on Orgovyx for 6 months. Last SBRT was Dec 28. I am essentially normal with a couple nightly moderate hot flashes. Currently on the second week of a SCUBA trip off Honduras......I am a lucky, appreciative guy. Any questions please let me know.
