My Radiation Oncologist at Mayo informed me that a low risk prostate cancer (which it appears you may have) can go with radiation only. If you have an intermediate risk a 3 month dose of ADT would be prescribed.

I am not an Oncologist, but I think most would call "12 core biopsy with 2 cores 3+3, 1 core 3+4 and one core 4+3" something other than low risk. I had 12 cores with one 3+3 and one 4+3 and was deemed "unfavorable intermediate". What tripped the trigger for ADT (via Orgovyx) was a Decipher score of 0.83. I am currently on my third month of a six month ADT regiment having completed my SBRT Dec 28th.

I would encourage the OP to have a second opinion on the pathology of the biopsy, a Decipher test, and a PSMA PET.

Actually, Gleason 8, stage 3. Treatment radiation and ADT only. Mayo Clinic.
