Is treatment for 88-year old Dad too aggressive for his age?

My opinion is : I only take one Arbiterone with prednisone 5mg. With a low fat breakfast. This works for me. PSA < .01 for 25 months. Already had RT. Surprised their waiting so long to start RT. My cancer was in my pelvic lymph nodes, not the bone or spine. I m not 88, so my advise may not apply to an 88 year old dad. I M 76. Gleason score was 9 too with 13 biopsies way back on Feb. 2nd 2022

I am happy that your treatment is working!

The one a day Abiraterone with low fat breakfast is interesting! We will look into this..

I am also surprised they are waiting so long for the radiation - we were told it takes time for the hormone therapy to "desensitize" the cancer cells, and get them ready for radiation. I will ask this question on Tuesday. Did they radiate your lymph nodes?
