Surgery or Radiation ?

"I'm a 72-year-old. I just discovered I have prostate cancer stage 4, Gleason, a 9. I am currently on hormone meds. Do I go the radiation route or surgery? I would love to hear from you. It migrated to my 5 Lyhnods in the pelvic area.

  1. I am 71 and I have the same numbers as you. I am on ADT and had a spaceOar put in, I start me radiation on the 30th of this month. My urologist told me because of my age and being a bit over weight to have radition.

    1. I start my simulation on Oct 10, and then they will schedule radiation. What kind of radiation did you get, and how long?
