Yes, same here. Once the cancer has escaped the prostate, it's too late to close the barn door (so to speak) with a radical prostatectomy.

In any case, even with non-metastatic PC, radiating the prostate has the same overall survival as temoving it (though I would still have gone with removal if we'd caught it earlier).

Why would you choose surgery now?
