Treatment options: radiation without ADT?

How long ago did you have this treatment? ADT can prevent reoccurrence for a couple of years if you have a high Gleason score, especially.
Was this MD that told you that you didn’t need ADT a Genito urinary oncologist? Having only SBRT with all of things you mentioned almost guarantees you will have reoccurrences. Progression free survival is greatly extended by having ADT.

SBRT was only 6 weeks ago. Treated by former Chief Resident of Radiation Oncology Mayo. I’ve researched the heck out of this and fully understand the risk. SBRT was MRI guided also utilizing Barrigel which I’ve learned is far superior to the old Spaceor. Read everything written here by you and others regarding the challenges but ultimately decided my body my choice.
