I had Proton 28 sessions. I too suffer from diverticulosis. I did prostox and would recommend it. They did not design prostox for 28 session proton but my rationale was that if it revealed sensitivity to radiation I would not proceed. I have no ed yet at 16 months at 70 years old. The diverticulosis during radiation caused a pocket to burst and I had some bleeding from that but not a big deal. In your shoes I would hit this hard, radiation plus ADT. While focal therapies can work I think grade 5 will be a problem. Don’t neglect the SBRT mri guided option either, that is showing low side effects. Be sure and have a spacer of some sort. This is all my opinion, listen docs from quality centers.

@neilmartin
Thanks so much.

Did you have any urinary leakage or pain?

Was your grade group 4?

I really hate to think about hormone therapy and all the side effects. I had rotator cuff surgery last year and finally got back into shape.
I watched a PCRI video and 1/3rd of mean having proton therapy decline the hormone therapy.

Hopefully my decipher will come back low risk for my 3+5=8.
