Second opinion for husband's stage 4A prostate cancer? And update

You are so correct. At 75 they said RT/ADT would suffice. Prostatectomy would result in same outcome. No difference. I’m < .01 PSA 18 months down the road. Two pelvic lymph nodes were affected. Also had it in seminal vessels. You won’t believe me but I felt the cancer fall off the wall of the seminal vessels in bed last week. It was dead- no more testosterone to feed it. Thru the process of phagocytosis the body will destroy this dead tissue. That’s my opinion only, just as me eating mushrooms keeps my PSA at 0. Lol. Hope you enjoyed my info???

Yes, I am also aware of those studies. However, I followed the advice at the time of Dr. David Samadi, a renowned prostate cancer specialist who advocates removal even in cases where the cancer has spread outside the prostate.
You can find studies of all types that show different outcomes to support your decision. The truth is that prostate cancer studies often take many years to develop. Having helped design studies in the field of psychology, I can tell you that scientific studies have so many variables that it can be mind spinning and different outcomes can be arrived at with one change in one variable. Plus, we are also all individuals and not statistics.
