Who is a good candidate for Intermittent ADT?

My PSA was 9.6. Urologist ordered an MRI. Results PIRADS 5. Now I am stuck with Biopsy on March 5, 2024. Then Gleason 9 but localized. I just did Grand Canyon Rim to Rim Day hike 5 months earlier. I was pretty healthy and fit.
I had no choice but get a treatment as advised by my primary care physician and urologist.
Had I not tested for PSA, it would have been a different matter!

So you were fit and healthy 5 months ago but not so much anymore? I don't understand the rationale for the ADT given confined to prostate and your age. Can anyone else here explain that to me?
