My diagnosis read close to yours including the PSMA.
I'm 74 and my treatment was just completed in December 2023.
I did 5 treatment of True Beam SBRT with a space Oar and fiducials.
I also did just 6 months on Orgovyx(ADT Pill). One before and 5 after.
3 Month labs PSA 0.05 Test 240
6 Month Lab PSA 0.05 Test 345
Both the Orgovyx and SBRT were a piece of cake. More anxiety than anything else.
Don't let anyone force you into anything. YOU are the patient and YOU have the final decision. Continue to ask questions until you are satisfied. I did find this site to be excellent.
Good Luck with your treatment

@pbmurf
Agree you are the patient and you decide. Not happy, not getting questions answered go to a institution that does.

Great to hear the treatment went well. I'm seeing similar results with IMRT after 3 months. Lost ground on pre-Rad continence, 6 weeks of Gemtesa got me back on track. Best Regards.
