@wwsmith . My decipher and Artera scores were both low, so probably no ADT for me. I do appreciate your feedback!

@higgins56 Awesome! 5 sessions of SBRT and no ADT will be an easy ride for you with very low odds of recurrence.

@higgins56 You may already know this but if you are headed down the SBRT road you need to do a PROSTOX test to make sure that you are at low risk from radiation side effects. If PROSTOX says that you are at high risk then you would need to switch to low dose IMRT treatments.

@higgins56 do extensive research before undergoing any treatment at all. The Protect T Trial indicates active surveillance is EQUAL to RP and radiation in the ultimate outcome (only 3 in 100 die from prostate cancer, no matter the form of treatment). Most need some form of treatment eventually, but many do not. Research, research, research, then decide.
