HI, My husband has the same Gleason score as you. I gather you have started or finished treatment at Mayo. He has his first appt next week for treatment. How did your treatment go may I ask? You had the SBRT right? My husbands prostate is 76 for volume. I am thinking he has to have the hormone therapy first. Is this what you did? Thanks CAD

Welcome, @curious10. I’m tagging @dandl48 @semeon and @mrscott to make sure they see your post and questions to them.

Is your appointment next week your first time to Mayo Clinic? Which location are you going to?

@semeon In June 2020 I had a hormone therapy shot (Eligard) and at the end of September I had the 5 treatments over a 10 day period via SBRT at Mayo Rochester. Since then my PSA remains <0.1, last tested in September. The SBRT was the easiest treatments I have ever received. I was 72 when I had the treatment. Do have to say one side effect I have is zero sex drive with extremely low Testosterone levels. In the process of exploring options to correct the situation.
