Over the past 7 years, I’ve had two MRI’s(both negative); and two biopsies(the first negative and the second this past August showed two cores out of 12 with cancer at 3+4=7). I chose RP because was told by two surgeons that if radiation didn’t work, removal is very difficult to perform. Everything went well, including NO incontinence issues at all. (P.S. do your Kegel exercises!). However, and the main point I want to make, is my pathology report indicated my cancer was 4+5=9 and was very close to the capsule. I would suggest getting any additional testing you can to determine the level of cancer and then figure out the treatment options. Best of luck! 🤞🙏

Thanks for posting. Even with all of the support of this great group, It’s still hard choice to make. I’ll be seeing a Rad Onc and Med Onc in two weeks. After that I will need to decide on treatment. Seems like generally the younger group of guys are going for RP. It’s been a nightmare in my head.
