I agree 100% that you made the right decision by not preemptively starting radiation treatment while your PSA was undetectable. You avoided unnecessary treatment and its potential side effects for ten years—that is huge in my mind.
In addition, I’m pretty sure that by waiting, you have benefited from the availability of more varieties of advanced and targeted radiation treatments than were available 10 years ago, as well as more options for hormone treatments that may be gentler on healthy tissues.
Thanks for sharing your experience, and I wish you all the best in the future.
