Gee, thanks. I think.

I'm considering going for a third opinion from a different hospital (Mayo?).

Never hurts to get a third opinion. My personal feeling is that you should do focal radiation therapy - seeds, SBRT….
The cancer that remains in your prostate is obviously a hale and hearty one. Lower levels of radiation - and 3 years of ADT - did not control it so now you really have to hit it hard to kill it. I feel you are getting a second chance to obliterate it. ADT didn’t work and going forward castrate resistance becomes an issue; stay on it for life?? Don’t think so…
