I underwent what looks like the same regimen your Rad Onc suggested. Completed about 3 months ago. I also took an ADT, Orgovyx for a 6 month period. I started it right before treatment and continued for 3-4 months afterward. Wish you the best! Treatment was relatively mild from the radiation. Had some mood swings with the hormone therapy, but was told it improved my odds. Best wishes!
