Not Good News after prostate biospy when MRI didn't look too bad

@diverjer Yes, confusing. My husband is, I believe, 4+5 (or 5+4). At any rate, high Gleason score. Advanced Prostate Cancer - no metastases. Wondering what to expect from 44 radiation treatments plus oral ADT. Thanks to all who share their experiences.

You’ve been here for three years, so I’m not sure exactly what you’re asking for.
The results for a 4+5 after 44 radiation treatment treatments and oral ADT for 18 months to two years can be long-term remission or short-term reoccurrence. Getting a decipher test can tell you what the likelihood is of having the reoccurrence soon. There’s no model you can go by to tell you that this is going to work, one way or the other.
I know many people that have had radiation and ADT and are around many years later asking about what to do when their cancer reoccurs. I know one guy that’s been on five vacations from ADT, Many years out from initial treatment. His vacations from ADT become shorter, but he’s still able to live without it for a good amount of time.
