Any man out there with 4+4? [View all]

I'm 76. I've been told that the cancer is contained by Pet scan. Also I've had first Lupron shot. Barigel rectal shield implanted had MRI and CT scan last week..no results yet. Can't find any studies that indicate that a person my age with 4+4 will increase expectancy post 30 radiation treatments despite what uroligist and both oncoligists seem to think. The bills are coming in and I just wonder if the radiation is worth it.
Thanks for any input.
