Surprising your doctor removed so much since you didn’t have seminal vesicle invasion.

You are a Gleason 9 and after radiation NCCN standards call for 24 months of ADT. I recently worked with two guys who didn’t have ADT and both of them had metastasis within a year and a half. One of them had a quite serious tumor on his femur and he was only a Gleason 7. ADT is really important to prevent recurrence.

Do you have a Genito Urinary Oncologist? With Gleason nine that is important. You need to be treated correctly to prevent reoccurrence. What type of doctor are you working with? It doesn’t sound like they are following the standards and that doesn’t protect you.
