Gleason 7 (4+3) radiation, but ADT also? Over treatment?

I had salvage radiation and no ADT. Took 2.5 years to come back, and I have BRCA2. Then I started ADT.

So perhaps the addition of ADT earlier might have made a difference? But I think you’ve pointed out that the BRCA2 problem might have even eclipsed ADT and caused the cancer to come back anyway.
I guess today you would have gotten the triplet therapy regimen - that’s ADT combo plus chemo?
Still amazing to me that you have beaten this thing back for 17 years and are still standing strong….Happy New Year, Jeff, and thank you once again for all your help, knowledge and support!
