You have received some good input! I was Gleason 9 with extra prostetic extension and cribform. I had the option of surgery first, but opted to go with just radiation (Proton Therapy) following the first three months of a 2 year stretch of ADT (lupron + abraterone) to avoid the surgical side effects with a comparable statistical outcome. My last 3 month injection was 15 months ago and PSA has been undetectable ever since my third month on ADT. As others have said, the time on ADT isn't easy, but it can enhance the impact of the radiation if you can deal with the side effects. Best wishes to you on a tolerable treatment and positive outcome!
