my stepfather was diagnosed in 2007 and was given depo provera injections every 3 months, which initially kept his psa in check for a good while...in 2009, his psa began rising, so he had additional testing done and a tumor was found...i believe it was stage 2 when he began radiation treatments similar to what you described...he went for imaging in advance as what he was going to receive was very targeted treatment...he went monday thru friday each week for 9 weeks, and any holidays that fell during his treatment period were made up at the end for a total of 45 treatments...he had zero side effects or difficulties with the treatment...the tumor shrank to an insignificant size and never presented any further issues...he remained on the depo provera regimen, and when he died in 2018, he had never had any other issues...
