Radiation instead of removal (surgery delayed due to illness)

I’m in the midst of biopsies and MRIs.
75 yo, Gleason 3+4, Decipher high risk.
Getting a 12 sample biopsy Mar 7 at SW in San Antonio.
Given my age, he recommends radiation only, not surgery due to very high risk of prolonged incontinence due to age. And 24 sessions, not fewer high dosage sessions.
Our relative small city has a reputable radiation oncology group, but I can also have it at Mayo, AZ. I have a place to stay there in AZ. What to do…stay home and have it locally, or go to Mayo? I’m guessing Mayo would be most of your recommendation.
Thx for any comment.

74 and did the 5 proton treatments at Mayo Phoenix. You should have booked sooner as Spring Training will be over by the time you would get here. There is extended spring training and then the Arizona Complex League if you do more than the five treatments to keep you busy at night.
