Thanks - My biggest concern is getting rid of the cancer, and being able to urinate without having to but in a catheter every time I get the urge to go. I accept that I will have side effects, and I'm unfortunately already use to poor sleep.

@oldoz -- Yeah, I agree. I'm actually very happy with my surgical outcome at Mayo Phoenix. Dr. Paul Andrews was my surgeon at Mayo and I think he did excellent work on me. That said, I agree with @jeffmarc's comment that your data is pretty old and you'll probably need some new tests to determine the most effective treatment for you. But Mayo Phoenix is a cancer center of excellence and I believe they'll give you excellent advice on additional testing and treatment options. As someone already mentioned, I'd also recommend getting Dr. Patrick Walsh's Guide to Surviving Prostate Cancer Paperback – October 3, 2023. It's on Amazon and it's the best $20 I ever spent. It really helped educate me on some key points in my decision making. Best wishes to you and yours.
