Hello Johnernest. Thank you for sharing. They did not suggest salvage radiation to the pelvic bed as an additional treatment? My husband is treated in the Sylvester University of Miami hospital. We were happy to have gone through the radiation as well. There were no side effects at all and the doctor said that cancer cells in the radiated area are dead. With the ADT we are treating the cancer cells that have escaped to the rest of the body, trying to starve them and either be cured (they gave him a 70% chance) or extend life as much as possible. In USA they do 2 years of ADT. In Europe (where I am from) they do it for 3 years. You are going to beat it. Congrats for the both habits, food and exercise!
