Yes, it is scary to delay treatment, but conventional treatment sounded scary too. He is old enough that living another five years feeling miserable isn’t all that inspiring. But we’ll pursue that if there is no improvement with the RSO. The oncologist has agree to help by running a test after one month , If there is no improvement after two months we probably won’t do month three. I say we because we are definitely doing this journey together.

Don't believe everything you read, either scary stories & unproven treatments. Also, don't believe "had cancer" (past tense) stories, as they are very rare in reality.
There are plenty of good stories with conventional treatment too:
I was diagnosed with prostate cancer five years ago. I had robotic surgery with no pain or complications afterwards. It was like a non-event. Later I was on ADT with minimal side effects (none unpleasant).
I do have one sad story: My uncle avoided treatment until it was too late.

You don’t have to live five years, feeling miserable.
I had surgery 16 years ago and had radiation 3 1/2 years after that when my PSA started rising again. I’ve had three more reoccurrences but have been undetectable for the last 28 months.
Eight years ago, I had to start on ADT full-time. I’ve been on it since then. I’m not miserable, I have a normal life and can do Almost anything I could do before ADT. Because I am on ADT, I am no longer horny all the time. That has positives and negatives.
There are a lot of ways to get an erection, even if the nerves near the prostate are damaged or removed by radiation or surgery.
