I guess I really don't have a lot of advice to share, but want you to know that you're in the right place to connect with wonderful, caring people on this forum! Learning of my husband's prostate cancer certainly was overwhelming at first, so your emotions are very understandable. (It's still somewhat overwhelming, even after having had some time to process this news and learning about the disease and treatment options!)

And, yes, reading posts and connecting here with people who are also living with this diagnosis has been incredibly helpful! We've read and watched videos from some reputable sites. We've found that learning more about prostate cancer has helped us feel more confident. We initially decided on radiation but recently changed our minds, because of identifying rationales that we now feel make radical prostatectomy the right choice for Jim. His surgery is on our calendar for February 26. So, now it's just the wait (and Jim doing his Kegel exercises)!

All the best to you!
