Unfortunately, you didn’t supply any information about your biopsy, your age, and any other metastasis issues in your body. Have you had a PSMA PET scan?
It’s hard to comment without more information.
Brachytherapy Is heavily used in Europe and is very successful, Not as many doctors are doing it here. Frequently they combine it with IMRT radiation, but that depends on the extent of the cancer.

@jeffmarc I'm 69, Gleason 4+3, localized, 28cc prostate, no Decipher score as yet. Just had a clean PSMA scan.
It seems that in some analyses HDR-BT monotherapy had competitive results with triple-mode therapy. That seemed attractive to someone not yet decided on ADT. And it is claimed BT delivers a higher dose to the tumor while sparing healthy tissue.
