My brother had a 4+3 with no spread and had five SBRT sessions, which seems to have completely eradicated the cancer. Much better chance of getting an erection after radiation than after surgery. If it is not spread outside, the prostate radiation does make sense.

If you have an irregular heartbeat, you should stay away from abiraterone. I had 2 Afib events 15 years before starting abiraterone, was on for 2 1/2 years and had three afib events while on it. After the third one, my oncologist pulled me off of it and put me on Nubeqa.

I have had both surgery and radiation and neither of them caused a problem with my heart rate.
