@stldadof4 that sounds very similar to my experiences at Kettering for Tulsa.

I wasn’t sure if it was my whole gland or my less than 5% Gleason 5 that made me unfavorable. I think they would do the treatment if I insisted …. but they felt I would be back in 2 to 3 years to be retreated.
I received my decipher test back and got a 0.19 which I am excited about.
I’m sending my Gleeson five off to Dr. Epstein for a second opinion.
If my 5 is downgraded to 4 I will probably skip the hormone therapy based on that fact, and my favorable Decipher score
I just sent my Prostox off to see if I’m sensitive to radiation.
If I’m not sensitive, I’m looking at 28 IMRT treatments at the university of Cincinnati
28 is a lot but the radiologist oncologist mentioned that the SBRT can be somewhat of a roller coaster and I am only 20 miles away from the site
I’ve never been through anything in my life that was so difficult to decide.
So many options and so many side effects.
I hope I can be confident in my decision and not second-guess myself after treatment begins
I have requested the spacer and the gold markers
