Thank you. Everyone has been really kind with their advice. I’m waiting on my PET scan, MRI, and next PSA results before deciding how to move forward. Some days I lean toward taking an aggressive approach that includes ADT, and other days I feel strongly about avoiding ADT altogether and trying radiation only. Being relatively young, I can’t help but wrestle with how either choice could impact my future battle with prostate cancer or my quality of life. I appreciate hearing your story about lowering your PSA with radiation alone. That gives me hope, and I’ll keep you posted as things progress.

@tj1967 In brief, I know why they use ADT (in my case LUPRON) to arrest the testosterone levels, but I keep having the old adage "The treatment is worse than the disease" going off in my head. Chemical castration is not something our bodies rebound from very well at all, at least for me. rlm
