I'm on the fence about dairy. ADT has done a number on my bones and I've been strongly encouraged to eat lots of high calcium foods and dairy, especially yogurt and milk, are about as high calcium as you can get. Yes, kale has calcium, but it's like eating the packaging that comes inside Amazon boxes and I can barely choke it down.

You're fine. The latest 2023 edition of Dr Walsh's book says that despite some individual early-stage studies, there's not adequate evidence to say either that red meat and dairy increase prostate cancer risk, or that eating cruciferous veggies like broccoli (or kale) decreases the risk.
Focus on eating what you need to take care of your heart, bones, muscles, and so on. Obviously, moderation and balance in everything is wise — you might not want to have a 16 oz steak smothered in butter-sautéed mushrooms *too* often — but if that's what you crave for your birthday dinner, go for it!
