Shrinking penis after surgery and radiation

I am 76 years of age and had 20 rounds of radiation this past December and January plus I am on 18 months of Zoladex. My penis have shrunk quite a bit and the first two shots of hormone shots I got before starting radiation castrated me and the urologist said that I would be finished with sex for life, his words, I just said at this stage as long as I am still 5’ - 10” a o e the grass it doesn’t matter, so the shrinkage isn’t a problem for me but my foreskin is gone wacky and I can’t pull it back anymore, anyone else with this problem?
I have a doctors appointment this week to see what can be done. Circumcision I guess is the next move. On the positive side when I went to the urologist I had psa of 63 and my last checkup about a month ago I was down to .01. Except for some fatigue I’m doing great.

Congrats on the .01. My PSA before radiation was 5.7, it's .02 now.
Yes, the shrinkage is incredible. I had 28 rounds of radiation back in March-April.
Left me with terribly burning for maybe a month. Pretty much gone now.
