@speed7484, Since you know that your cancer is confined to the prostate, I assume that you have had other diagnostic tests. Which tests did you have?

I think you might find this decision aid from the US Department of Health and Human Resources useful in preparing for your appointment with your oncologist. It is a step-by-step guide that walks you through all the options for clinically localized prostate cancer (meaning the cancer is located completely inside the prostate gland) https://www.effectivehealthcare.ahrq.gov/ehc/decisionaids/prostate-cancer/index.cfm?thisPage=1

When do you meet with your oncologist?
