(continued) This information gave me confidence to go in the direction I was already leaning toward which was no ADT.
Had six weeks of Proton radiation in May and June of 2022 and PSA has continued to decline to below 1 as of the most recent two quarterly PSA tests. Only minor residual side effects from radiation which are weak stream and an occasional dribble. Hope this helps! Best , Ron

Ron,

Thanks again - really helpful. Not clear at this point about the difference Proton and IRMT but will research. Is there less likely hood of burns to the rectal wall with proton which I take to be more accurate/focussed?
My MRT came after an Echography which first revealed the tumour/nodule, then the biopsy and then a bone scan followed by CT scan.

End of questions!

Happy New Year

David
