Thanks for the reply! I’ll be getting PSA checked every 3 months for sure. My radiology oncologist recommended 18 months on hormone therapy but recent studies my wife found suggest little benefit after 6-8 months. I’m weighing quality of life, too, as I’m 78 years old in excellent health……other than PC!

Good luck with that and thank you.

Do a search for this report from 2022: 'Dose Escalated Radiotherapy Alone or in Combination With Short - Term Androgen Deprivation for Intermediate - Risk Prostate Cancer: Results of a Phase 111 Multi - Institutional Trial'. Note especially the Conclusion.
