Many thanks for the details of your TS.

I agree completely with your desires and choices. "The most aggressive treatment that will give me the most time with a reasonable risk/reward ratio." "Curative intent." CET.

I wonder if you were given multiple options whereas the care team for non-physician patients consider multiple options but only present the one they consider optimal to the patients. For myself, if there are multiple options I would like to know them along with the one considered optimal. Second opinions are standard for other aspects of PCa, why not for the most important aspect, your PCa TS?

By the way I am also a retired doc but my specialty, solid-earth geophysics, is somewhat less relevant to PCa than yours.
