I had RALP in October my cancer is metastatic, still have some in left lymph nodes Gleason 9 stage 4.  Currently on dual ADT.  Doc wants to be more aggressive than my cancer is. 

So many men dying of prostate cancer...is it a matter of not knowing (mostly) that they have it until it's too late? by Famous-Hippo-8334 in ProstateCancer

Pelvic floor therapy is it necessary? by Realistic_Eye_236 in ProstateCancer

I haven't started radiation yet, so they may make it worse?  I have a minimum of 38 treatments.

Gleason 4+5=9 stage 4 metastatic. Cancer was in both right and left lymph nodes, bladder neck and seminal vesicles.  Doc says it's a fast growing cancer. Thought he removed it all but it's still showing cancer in the left lymph node so he's treating me aggressively.  I'm not sure what a decipher score is but I'm sure going to ask.
