I agree that you should consider SBRT which I finished 3 months ago after a 3+4=7 Gleason. Prior to my decision, I did a decipher and ArteraAI test which were very helpful and reassuring that I was making the best choice. So far so good; minimal side effects in all areas.

Good luck on your journey; you’re not alone.
