You are correct @jc76 in my case due to age being one of the factor the surgery is probably being considered. However I’ll have bio markers and pet test pending that will help me to make decision. Both the treatments do have long/ short terms issues. And one piece of advise my pcp gave is no matter the amount of study one do as a patient or specialist in this area the choices are hard and patient has to live with them

Bottom line has to be a personal decision. What works for one and what one wants versus another is being human. I think if I was younger and had the prostrate cancer I might have considered surgery.
The radiation treatments for the stage of cancer I had and risk level was excellent cure rate. What I have read is the side affects of hormone treatments are far more a problem than the side affects of surgery or radiation.
Your PCP is right and you must have a good one.
