Newly diagnosed with prostate cancer and still gathering information

I had exactly the same diagnosis. Gleason 4+3 unfavorable. I chose surgery at age 64 ( your age is VERY important in deciding on treatment) just in case the cancer came back.
Five years later it did and I just completed salvage radiation and ADT.

I’m trying to decide whether I should get the salvage radiation after a recurrence. My PSA is 0.25 and my doubling time is about 15.8 months. I’m 75 so my expected life is about 85. My Decipher score was 0.84.

How did the salvage radiation go? I’m expected to have 35 treatments? Has the radiation changed anything?
