What is treatment for Gleason Score 8 at 80 years old in good health?

I was running a computer consulting business full-time when I had my 8+ weeks of IMRT radiation.
I had my radiation done at 8:30 in the morning and went to my client’s offices right after that. No one even noticed I was starting in the morning a little later, I usually could get to clients offices around 9:15.
I am not sure what you mean by this comment “ while the 25-40 session treatments can happen years later.”. After having proton salvage radiation, you could not have that 25 to 40 session treatments years later, because you would already have had a lifetime of radiation in that area.

Jeff, thanks for your strong commitment to monitor this forum and help men with P.C. You do an excellent job of it.
My comment you question was a poorly worded statement by me. What I meant to say was that the side effect profile from long term beam radiation seems to shift the side effect events out to a longer term as well, as compared to the short term SBRT radiation group. At least that is my take on it after doing much study. When I use AI and ask a question comparing the two groups it seems to bear this out. Here are two screen shots from my research.
