Salvage radiation decision: with or without hormone therapy?

I was Gleason 9 and a very high Decipher as well. All signs that the cancer was aggressive. Had surgery- removed prostate, seminal vesticles, and 7 lymph nodes. 1 node was positive. There was some positive margin after surgery. I had followup pelvic radiation and have been on ADT (Orgovyx) for 2 1/2 years. My PSA has been < 0.01 since (for 2 years).

That is AWESOME news!!! Love the PSA. I've had a very similar path. My Gleason was 8-9. Had surgery to remove the prostate. All 11 lymph nodes clear. First PSA was .2 so so obviously some cells still there. PSA then rose to .8 after 6 months so radiation and ADT was the plan of attack. Eight months after, my PSA is at .01.
My question, was does the a positive lymph node mean going forward? Really new here. Thanks everyone!!!
