It seems to be standard practice in the UK, I'm assuming you're saying there's no added benefit long term, gonna tell the oncologist that I ain't having it

Tall_Allen - Thanks for this data, I am also living in the UK currently on Active Surrelliance vs. whilst evalauting treatment options. The UK radiologist (oncologist) also stated ADT would be prescribed with radiation treatment. I have already discounted the treatment but this just adds weight that the decission was correct. Thank you Colin
