Looks like I have a game plan with the Stephenson Cancer Center at the University of Oklahoma.
Lupron treatment( hormone therapy).
MRI/CT Scan one week before SRBT radiation treatment.
SRBT radiation treatment (imaging guided and 5 visits). Does not include the visit for the placement of the markers.
Onward!
I've never heard of using hormone therapy for favorable intermediate risk PCa. Why would you do that to yourself?
They achieved 5-year bRFS of 100% without ADT in this trial:

BTW- you seem to be rushing your decision with no reason.
i was told by radiologist my category of risk was a high intermediate...I will review the link. Thank you.
What percent of your cores had cancer? What was your PSA?
7 out of 15 cores
PSA 6.2
Less than half (and if multiple cores were taken from an area of interest, it only counts as one).
I will have to ask what data they are looking at to add the hormone therapy with my radiation treatments.
There is nothing that shows a benefit by adding ADT to radiation for favorable intermediate risk.
thoughts on this? Thank u...

I don't think that is the link you meant to post.
yup...lost the link
Nope, that's just a general intro.
I looked at too much....and nitvabke tonfind the post I wanted...brain overloaded...
thank you. Onward!
As someone who was immediate high risk with a Gleason 7(4+3) and 6.8 PSA, excellent plan. Keep kicking the little bastards!

That link has nothing to do with your kind of prostate cancer, which is metastatic, and should be treated with chemo and hormone therapy.
LOL...message me one on one rather in group ..I am also doing other stuff to kick the little bastards...yup docs would say quackery stuff...
Maybe start a new thread with your questions or PM me, as this is irrelevant to the OP.

Plan for my husband's biochemical recurrence
Planned EBRT plan
Distant Lymph node treatment options?
Dx and treatment plan
Why does this game plan sound off ?
