No. Prostate Cancer is not the “good one”

ADT since Dec 2024; oncologist says I'll need to stay on it for years. I hate it. Completed 28 sessions of radiation (IMRT) last week, side effects continue to linger and extended lack of restful sleep is taking a toll. No idea yet whether radiation was effective and/or whether it caused significant long-term collateral damage. Three weeks ago, developed either an allergic reaction to one of my many medications or else late-onset eczema due to compromised immune system. Overall in a pretty sucky phase of treatment; wondering if it will ever get better or if I will always have some version of a side effect or complication to deal with.

Yeah, the ADT gave me insomnia as well; napping became a must because I just ran out of juice in the PM.
Was the reason for IMRT based on confirmed spread outside the gland or was surgery not an option? I am curious because of your age (51, I believe).
