I considered my myself younger. (68). No other issues. Went for a routine check due to frequency of urination. Agreed to biopsy due to an elongated prostate. 1 out 12 samples cancer. my PSA was 1.2. (normal). It took me 15 sec to say surgery. Dr tried to convince me to do ultrasound(not Mayo) or nothing at all. I felt like this was the only option to possibly get rid of it. Sort of like a total breast removal. Everything else left the possibility. The Dr had a 85% success on incontinence and impotence.(his data) I thought. good enough. Little over 4 yrs all PSA < .1 and pet scan was clear. I am both incontinent and impotent. I can live with both. (not easy mentally) but I appear to be cancer free. Would I make the same decision again. Probably.
