I had all the various tests and biopsies to show that I had PC... Mayo MN verified what my local clinic with MRI and etc found. this was just about a year ago in April 2019. Mayo recommended the radiation oncology.. but a shot of Lupron first to shrink the prostate... I had the 20 radiation treatments 2 months after the shot.. The oncologist inserted a spacer material between the bowel and the prostate...to minimize bowel irritation... I still had some but it has been decreasing.. No chemo, no surgery ... feeling good.. Make sure the radiation facility is new and has the latest equipment... the American Cancer Society has a motel like place in Rochester MN where one can stay at no or little cost.. I am sure they have similar facilities around the country...Go to Boston General... or other Top notch Clinics ... Always get a second opinion..

Very similar to my treatment. You are right on the money about a 2nd opinion and going to a world class facility. I went to Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa. Great place and staff.
