Thanks Phil. I agree with you regarding surgery. Radiation and ADT seems like the way to go. They hinted about brachytherapy (I'll know more in June) but I heard the doesn't work well if a previous Turp has been done. I had a Turp several years ago.
I'll ask about Orgovyx (Relugolix). I don't hear much about it here for some reason although I know it was approved for use several years ago in Canada.

Stew, yes the TURP is problematic; I had Green Light laser a few years before and one RO said that the middle of my prostate was hollow so where was he gonna put the seeds??
But the other radiation alternatives are also excellent. Orgovyx in Canada might be expensive (relative to Lupron) but please do look into it. If you can afford it I think it is well worth it because of its efficacy and reduced impact on your quality of life.
