rcs @rcs I'm 72 and I was 4 + 3 with a PSA of 11.8. In September I had conferences with Radiation Oncology along with Surgery going over my options. After the meet I chose SBRT, Proton Therapy 5 treatments over 10 days. The major reason for my choice was I feared becoming incontinent. I know that's not a good reason, but that was what got me to choose radiation. Treatment was totally painless and you would be amazed and the building that houses the SBRT. 2 months prior to the radiation I had a shot of Eligard, hormone Therapy, to reduce the production of testosterone which the cancer grows on. A few side effects that suck, night sweats in particular. Best of luck.
