I am not on any treatment now. I was diagnosed in March 2018. On to HT (zoladex) for 24 months. HDR in September 2018. Followed by 15 fractions EBRT. I was treated at Christie hospital Manchester. LINAC was an Elektra Versa HD, it can be used in different modes. I think image guided was the mode used on me.
The HDR allows a high dose of radiation to be given with no damage to nearby organs. As I had extra capsular extension and perineural invasion EBRT allowed for a slightly wider area to be treated, but as the HDR did most of the work the EBRT which puts other organs at risk was about half strength.
I guess a question to ask is, Is HDR suitable for you?
Do you need 3 years HT? Latest evidence is that 18 months is probably sufficient.
Last HT injection was January 2020 it wasn't until Jan 2021that my testosterone was fully recovered. All PSAs whilst on HT were <0.1 and since then have been 0.1 or 0.2 often alternating.
Allowing for the time it took to recover testosterone I would say I am two years post treatment and all is well. I am fully aware that cancer could return but I will worry about that bridge when I get there.
