@broderbund1 I researched everything within my limited brain capacity. My urologist actually helped persuade me towards radiation which was a tad surprising but totally appreciated. Then I went down the various radiation choices and simply opted for the quickest and least disruptive to my wife. I did indeed get both DNA tests - on me and on grade 5 tumor. Wanna say it was .49 Should also note my choice of treatment facility was made due to level of comfort with my radiologist & team coupled with the fact they utilize an MRI guided linear accelerator (vs MRI informed). And lastly, knowing that I’m repeating myself, my MRI did indicate seminal invasion, cribriform & EPE (hope I got those initials correct). And it was my choice to not include ADT but that was fully supported by my team. And I’m well aware this totally goes against input by most members of this forum. Peace to all.
