Treatment options: radiation without ADT?

And just to highlight the inability of medical professionals to come to agreement on suitable treatments, here we have two patients:

OP: Radiation oncologist recommended radiation with 6 months ADT.
4+3, 79 years old, PSA 12.91

Me: Radiation oncologist recommended radiation with no ADT.
4+3, 61 years old, PSA 17.50

How can we as patients expect to get it right when the pros don’t agree on best solutions?

Hi, had a Prostatectomy 2008; PSA slowly climbed up and in 2022 was .240 which is BCR. PSMA was neg. Had 38 Rad Treatments to the Prostate Bed, which Rad Onc figured the recurrence was coming from. Both Urologist and Rad Onc suggested NO ADT. Since then, my PSA has been 0.020. Next one in Sept, every 6 months.
