@jeffmarc Yes, I am seeking out other opinions. I've got an appointment with a lead at UCSF (I'm in the SF Bay Area). I've also reached out for some contacts at Stanford. Unfortunately these are taking time to get and I really want to get started. Is there a downside to beginning with the prescribed path (Eligard w/ Abiraterone & prednisone) and continue to research other treatments like alternative meds or even radiation/chemo?

People that have tried both UCSF and Stanford have found UCSF to be more attentive and more directed in treatment of prostate cancer patients.
You need to speak to a doctor that Specializes in prostate cancer, A Genito urinary oncologist. At UCSF Dr. Rahul Aggarwal is a specialist you would really benefit from working with. Because your case came back after treatment, this is the doctor that you should see.
