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.

That is an important question to ask. After being radiated and finishing ADT treatment if PSA rises or relapse happens what is the treatment like? The prostate I believe cannot be radiated further. In that case does patient relies on ADT only?

@jeffmarc My husband was just diagnosed with Advanced Prostate Cancer in December. Previous posts were about my lung cancer - diagnosed in 2023. - and the drug Tagrisso.
Seems that my husband's radiation oncologist at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago is recommending a lot of treatment - Bicalutamide, Orgovyx and a shot (I think Lupron) plus 44 radiation sessions. Was wondering if anyone else had this combination of treatments. Thanks for your reply.
