@jimcinak, my prostate cancer is identical to yours except you were at Mayo Rochester two years before me.
4 +4 Gleason, Space Oar inserted in Feb. 2022, 5 sessions of PBRT in Mar. 2022. The only difference was that I was on Lupron for 14 months. Completely off Lupron as of Nov. 13th and waiting for side effects to wane. Mostly sleep issues and low energy. By April/May I hope to be back close to my normal self.
That being said, I wouldn’t change a thing regarding my treatment. Mayo is the best place to go for treatment of prostate cancer. Very appreciative and thankful for the care I received.
