Hello, mspotter1956,
72 years old. Had my biopsy in June 2024: gleason 7 4+3 lesions in 3 out of 10 needle core samples. PSA 4.91. Stage T1C Nonpalpable. Other 7 samples clear. Radical Prostatectomy was not advised due to fairly recent hernia repair. Decided on IGRT with 4 months of ADT (Orgovyx). Halcyon equipment. I started Orgovyx 10/4/2024, 13 pills so far. Few side effects so far--maybe some fleeting muscle/joint pain, and periodic Restless Leg Syndrome. I will have SpaceOAR gel injected to create space between my prostate and rectum to lessen the chances my rectum being damaged by the radiation. After 2 months of ADT, will have 40 10-minute radiation sessions, concurrent with ADT. I don't want to frighten you, but there are no perfect treatments. I wish you the very best.
