I met with the Cornell team and the oncologist was against surgery and now they are suggesting radiation for two weeks 5 times a day by MRI guided machine and ADT for two years.
Have a consult with Memorial Sloane Kettering next week then will make our decision. Feeling confused as want hubby to make the best decision that will give him full recovery from this disease.

Actually Dr. Sean McBride is listed under Brachytherapy Chief, External Beam Radiotherapy: Manhattan(and so is Dr. Marisa A. Kollmeier Interim Chief, Brachytherapy Service; Program Director, Brachytherapy Fellowship).
We saw a radiology oncologist... That was recommended by the medical oncologist.Who said he would do nothing... Other than continue on adt... He was going to try zometa which is for the bones... My husband is staged for with spread on one rib... And one lymph node in the pelvic area... The radiology oncologist... Recommended twenty five radiation treatments five days a week 45 weeks.... So it is a thing.
My dad has stage 4 PC that has spread to spine. He starts radiation next week, but it is 5 treatments to prostate followed by 2 treatments to spine. 7 total, split out over nearly three weeks (Monday/wednesday/friday etc.). He’s also started hormone therapy 1.5 months ago which has dramatically brought down his PSA.
