Totally agree with @michaelcharles on this one. Just went thru similar treatment at Sloan. 6 months ADT with 25 radiation treatments, including pelvic nodes.
Your cancer is still there, nobody knows EXACTLY where it is no matter what test or scan you have.
I understand your fears about setting back your progress after surgery but please remember that you are dealing with cancer and it is a nasty adversary.
And an excellent radiation team - and your complete cooperation with treatment preparation - can mitigate/minimize many of the side effects you are concerned with. Best,
Phil

Hi Phil,
I’m starting to think the same way. Being aggressive feels like the only way to fight cancer. I’m hoping to be approved at Sloan Kettering. I’m curious, how was your experience with them? So far I’ve been thoroughly impressed with their follow-up and customer service. I already received the (ADT) relugolix 120 mg prescription in the mail, but I’m not starting it until the doctor reviews my PET scan and MRI. They just wanted me to be ready to begin after our next consultation. They’ve been fantastic so far, so I’m assuming the radiation treatments will be handled with the same level of care. Tim
