With radiation, some of the side-effects occur years later. Just FYI.
Radiation still seems to be a better option (for my situation, yours may be different), especially if everything is done to minimize the negatives of ADT. Beware providers who have not stayed current (perhaps because they are swamped) and just prescribe ADT without the mitigating meds, diet and exercise. Be proactive and do what you can to get the best care -- and spreading current knowledge helps other patients as well.
