Hi I have prostate cancer gleason7 (3+4) psa 18.1 T2 cpg3 pirad 5 left apex transitional zone pirad 4 right apex transitional zone my treatment plan was 20 sessions of radiotherapy plus 6 months ADT but after reading some horror stories I decided against ADT my radiotherapy starts in 11 days time but now I'm worried I should have taken the ADT
I know everyone is different but has anybody else not taken ADT with the same scores I have above and how did it work out for them
Hello Joesoap264872
A warm welcome to the Macmillan Online Community. I am Brian, one of the Community Champions here on the Community.
The Community is divided up into cancer specific groups or chat rooms and I would advise you to join us on the Prostate Group - here's the link you need:
Once the page opens up just click on "join" on the black banner at the bottom of the page. You can then introduce yourself to the group in the "New Here - Say Hello" section. You can copy and paste the post above or repost it - you will get lots of answers.
I am in my 4th year of my Prostate Cancer journey and had HT for 3 years - if you click on my name or avatar you can read my journey.
I look forward to "meeting" you in our part of the Community.
Best wishes - Brian.
