Hormone Therapy or not.

Hi all, have been diagnosed with prostrate cancer, and currently undergoing Radiotherapy, 38 sessions.Start of the fourth week, have been on Hormone Therapy for 6 months now but thinking of coming if it after Radiotherapy.

Is there anyone who has made a similar move, would be great to here if anyone has.PSA has now come down to normal levels.Hardly any side effects, stage 3, Gleason score of 3+4=7 with a 75% cure rate.

Seems positive but would love to come off the Zolodex …thanks Trucker_boy.

    I have recently been diagnosed with Prostrate Cancer, Gleason score of 3+4 =7.  I am still considering options between radiation and surgery although inclined toward radiotherapy.  In consultation with oncologist, I am eligible for a high beam radiotherapy (SABR) over a shorter period. She was relaxed whether a did this in conjunction with hormone therapy or not.  I'd much prefer not to take hormone treatment.  Any other experience of taking this route?
