Gleason 7 (4+3) radiation, but ADT also? Over treatment?

Sorry!! Morning Thumb Syndrome😩…I meant to say many SIDE effects from surgery which you may not want to go through at this point in your life. But ADT probably would not be used if you had surgery.
But ADT is not all that bad (ask for Orgovyx) and if you are in good shape the SE’s are more of a nuisance than anything else.

Orgovyx + radiation for my Gleason 7 N1M0 knocked me flat. I had every SE listed but one. Six weeks post radiation, some energy is returning. I'm 73, and the Rx is 24 mos. ADT. I'm trying to negotiate. PSA one month after radiation/5 mos. ADT, 0.01.

Thank you for the advice. I am leaning towards radiation, something like 30-40 treatments seems to be what is recommended over SBRT. I am wondering if I need to have the treatment in a private clinic.
