Intermittent Hormone Therapy (IHT): How is it working for you?

Hey Bluegill, sorry about your situation. My friend was recently treated at Sloan, here on Long Island, NY. He had 5 sessions of SBRT (cyberknife type) and the RO said that if it ever failed he could still do seeds. Since your cancer is still inside the gland, might that be an option for you?

I see from one of your previous posts that you received 6 weeks of radiation - not SBRT. But even so, seeds confined to the prostate really should not affect any of the surrounding tissues.
You probably will require a gel spacer, however, to protect the rectum. Personally, I would get at least 3 opinions on this even if you have to go back on Lupron for a year. Best
