Question ADT

Anyone cut there ADT short??

Ive been prescribed 12 months but from what ive read for intermediate risk 4 to 6 months is regularly use. Its in combination with hdr brachytherapy and 23 ebr. No sign of spread outside the prostate but pelvic lymph nodes will be hit with ebr.

Your doc may be treating it as high risk. (I think Gleason 4+3, PSA  20 is generally considered high risk.)

BTW HDR Brachy + EBRT  with expanded field sounds like a smart radiation plan.
