I am similar in many ways (3+4) 2 tumors (3+3) in 4 tumors. Age 64 - 62 when diagnosed and was on AI for about 2 years. I have cribriform in the 3+4 tumors and a decipher of .72. I opted for SBRT and 120 days orgovyx after consultation with Joseph Wagner (4k robotic surgeries) who advised that both radiation or surgery were equipoise. I confirmed the same with Smilo and MSK. I am 7 months out since the last SBRT and 3 months since the end of orgovyx. Everything is as normal as one could hope. Treatment provided the usual symptoms and they were manageable. Some lingering fatigue yet. Exercise has been a great help as have many of the contributors on this site. A number of these folks are very involved in the treatment community and news and I make a regular habit of reading Jeff Marci and Heavy Phil among others a few times each week. The mental part of this seems as big an issue with me as the symptoms and having perspectives from others (and exercise) has been very helpful - and informative. I wish you good luck and easy days as you move forward. Prostate cancer is a drag to hear you have and almost always quite manageable.

@jonathanack "... Everything is as normal as one could hope. Treatment provided the usual symptoms and they were manageable. ..." I am glad you're back to a sort of normal. It is encouraging to read. I am considering SBRT as opposed to surgery. The prospect of a major life change is hard for me to accept, being, it appears, a new life of infertility, incontinence and impotence in one degree or another regardless of the treatment modality.
