I was 4+3 and did 44 radiation and 4 mos ADT. Didn’t like it. But it was better than the pain and agony of metastasis in your bones. Started ADT in May and radiation in June. Got done in Sept. I’m almost back to normal. So the sacrifice to me was worth it. I’m considered in remission.
I could easily go 5 years or more without reoccurrence.
Catch it early and you can just keep going.
You want to catch it and treat it before it leaves the prostate.

How’s your quality of life as related to sex life, erectile function, and continence? Every doctor I’ve consulted with said radiation kills the entire prostate, and 50/50 chance of still being able to get an erection
