Is 76 too old for prostate cancer surgery?

I was a 68 yr male. 1 of 12 samples with 3+3 nothing in the margins and PSA 1.2. I used your exact philosophy. Dr told me it turns to a raisin after radiation. Dr recommended doing nothing since I wasnt having any issues. My testosterone wasnt high but about 500 with no ED issues. I ended up with ED after surgery. 3 years after surgery no sign of cancer. I requested a testosterone check and found it to be 250. I signed a waiver and went on a topical cream. It now runs about 700. That gives me everything I need. Energy, No lack of desire, healthier outlook. Its been 4 1/2 years. I still have only a partial erection. However I dont have a sexual partner. No stimulation.

Surgery with a G6, 3+3??
Whoa, very seldom should that happen of at all, unless there are other circumstances like more than half cores etc, and even then there are radiation options.
