I was treated with chemotherapy and radiation 40 years ago for Hodgkin’s lymphoma. This included 64 radiation treatments, 20 of which were to my pelvis. Now I have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. I asked my Urologist if radiation was an option for my prostate cancer and he was not sure. Does anyone have any insight on this topic?

Speak to a radiation oncologist. Urologists are not trained to be radiation oncologists.
SBRT radiation that is isolated to the prostate probably can do this. If they have to radiate the lymph nodes, that’s a problem. IMRT radiation does a much wider area and may not be possible. An RO can tell you much more.
