I orginal did Focal Laser Ablation by Dr. Sperling, I am on hormone therapy now and at first had to get accustomed to the hot flashes and cold sweats which have now eased with life quite normal. Although I am not as strong muscular wise and I do have morning joint pain which dissipates once I get moving. My PSA is now .1 and testo .5, I am due for another Lupron injection in a month. I also followed the Rick Simpson Oil (strain is Phoenix Tears 25% THC) protocol taking 60 grams in 90 days. I recently had a 3T multiparametric MRI which showed my prostate had reduced in size and the cancer has no lymph mets or no bone mets. I am actually feeling real good and I have no need for washroom visits during the night. I attribute my well being to the RSO and I am going to do another regime starting next week. I have a great deal of reluctance related to radiation because I can not get any straight answers on the risks all I am told is that i will have side affects that could be bad but have given me nothing but worst case scenarios which I am not pleased with. Oncologist has recommended 39 radiation treatments over 2 months. I am very hesitant with this protocol.I want to maintain a good quality of life even if that means life is shorter. I have had very positive results with RSO and that is why I am taking RSO (see the internet lots of information related to it). However you won't here that that from the medical profession. I do have first hand knowledge of a person with terminal lung and brain cancer who is now in remission for 3 years who followed the RSO protocol as a last hope. Its all a personal choice however advocate for yourself and get second opinions on everything. We are all different and you know yourself how you feel. I have encountered some very good medical professionals but I also encountered a great deal of arrogance related to my personal choices.

Welcome to Connect, @semeon. I think you might find this journal article of interest.

Treatment decision making is so challenging and defining quality of life is a very personal calculation. You may also find this discussion to be helpful when considering radiation or not:
