Surgery or Radiation + Hormone Therapy

This choice seems more and more confusing for me. My urologist told me the following: Gleason 8 or less, surgery is probably better. Gleason 9 or 10, radiation is better, because surgery might accidentally spread the cancer.

I was Gleason 9, and got radiation. Was it the right choice? Ask me in a decade or two.

"Gleason 9 or 10, radiation is better, because surgery might accidentally spread the cancer."

First time I've heard it said that way, but, makes some sense I guess.

Looking forward to hearing your "All Clear" in 20 years!
