@brianjarvis Yeah I agree with your assessment and should have been a bit more active in the direction. It all seemed so benign then and I wasn't focused enough. But that is the shoulda, woulda, coulda black hole. Got to move forward. So far, the Med Oncologist wants to start the ADT regimen ASAP, but that is it. External radiation is being considered but is not initially planned. Also no Chemo. I am finally talking to the genetics people this month. In the meantime, I'm seeking out other recommendations and continue to learn from the advice in this group. I'm going to be bringing learnings from here to my next appointments.

@damonk
Do you have the ability to go somewhere else to get a second opinion?

It really does sound like you are in a situation where you need a second opinion from a center of excellence. The treatment just doesn’t sound right based on what you were saying they found in your prostate biopsy.
