@muhammadali1951 You'll almost cetainly go on hormone therapy. Your first big decision will be radiation vs surgery. If the imaging shows the cancer has spread, it will probably be radiation; if there's no detectable spread, you might have surgery as an option, with the caveat that you'll still need radiation later if it turns out some of the cancer had escaped the prostate but wasn't detectable yet. Surgery and radiation have comparable overall-survival stats.

No point worrying past that yet. Just rest assured that there are many good treatment options available, no matter what your situation ends up being.
