Second opinion for husband's stage 4A prostate cancer? And update

No surgery was not an option as the cancer had gone to a seminal vessel and a pelvic lymph node so oligomastic. Yes he is on Orgovyx and started zytega 4 days ago. Scheduled for Brachytherapy to prostate and seminal vessel on Wednesday. And 26 sessions of IGMRT or proton radiation in October. We are deciding between the two. So far his PSA and T has gone down as has his pelvic nodules on a current CT scan. So keeping fingers crossed.

I’m on Orgovyx and Zytiga as well; going on 5 months. As long as I exercise each day the side effects aren’t too bad.
I’ve had IMRT. Not sorry I chose it, but have wondered if I would’ve had less side effects with proton therapy. A consult with a radiologist specializing in each might be helpful in making a decision.
Since my situation is so similar to that of your partners, don’t hesitate to send me a direct private message if there’s anything I can help you with or you have any questions Did you think I might be able to answer from my experience.
