I was 68, 4+3, high Decipher score, PSA 7.8, good PSMA-PET. I chose SBRT with a focal boost to the lesion, Barrigel spacer, and 6 months Orgovyx. All was essentially a cake-walk, very few early side effects and no later side effects. Did you discuss SBRT with your doc?

Stay Strong Brother, we got this.

Hey toolbelt,
Great to hear all went good with your journey! Thanks for explaining your good results with the SBRT. I have an upcoming appointment with my doc and will bring it up as a possible option. Also good to know you id well on Orgovyx. I hear it has less chance of heart attack than Lupron and your testosterone rebounds back quicker when done.
