I had 10.2 PSA and 3+4. I was contained to the prostate and no ADT used. I had 5 treatments in 2023 on the Mridian radiation machine that has a built in MRI. I chose the machine as it exposed less healthy tissue and minimized side effects vs other radiation machines. What the doctors could see because of the MRI, they could treat. I was 69 at the time.

@bens1 Were you favorable intermediate risk. I was unfavorable intermediate, Gleason 3+4 on three cores, and a few 0+3 on other cores, making "more than half the tissue samples positive." I always had a question at the back of my mind, if the cores with Gleason 3+3 or lower are not considered cancerous, why was I unfavorable with more than half of all cores positive? I yielded to the oncologists and the urologist's determination of unfavorable, so I had Orgovyx for six months.
