Testosterone: Is everyone's level in the low numbers?

As of today I am on two hormone therapy tablets; Orogovyx and Erleada. After all tests (sadly a high decipher score), my prostate cancer is contained (as per PET scan) but is intermediate level 3. I am 77 and new to this. I may not be insured for erleada as my cancer has not metastasized. In which case, the dr will prescribe Xtandi. I'm on these two tablets (insurance permitting) and on Nov 6 at CT scan. About that time I think the dr will schedule radiation. He also suggested I be open to seeds (single implant...permanent seeds) after radiation. Has anyone gone down this road? Encouragement welcome! Thanks.

Don’t worry about Erleada vs Xtandi. They work very much the same. Side effects similar. If you have too severe of side effects see if you can get Nubeqa (Darolutamide) which has fewer side effects and fewer conflicts with other drugs. Again works very much the same.

What was your Gleason score? It also tells how aggressive your cancer is.

Lots of people get the seed treatment (brachytherapy). It works well.
