ADT/ ORGOVYX Day 45; Told Radiation Is Next

1) My cancer has yet to metastasize.
2) And orgovyx is obviously working.
3) And flomax solved the weak-stream problem.
*) Can I skip prostate radiation for awhile or indefinitely delay it ?

No one here should give medical advice ("you ought to…"). For early-stage cancer, some oncologists believe radiating or removing the "mothership" (the prostate) weakens any yet-to-be-detected spread, making it harder for it to grow into a large tumour, while others believe that radiation or a prostatectomy for early-stage PCa are an unnecessary intervention.
Ask your oncologist to walk you through the pros and cons of both approaches for *your specific case,* and also ask them how safe it is to take some time deciding.
