I meant straight forward in that if you decide on, or need, RP, there's only one choice. If I choose not to have RP, then there are numerous radiation options even more focal therapies. I was leaning toward RP at first, but research has me more considering the other options now.

Thanks for the link to Prostate Cancer Promise, will look into that. My urologist has submitted my samples for a Polaris test but I haven't gotten the results yet.

DIG DEEP into the the alternatives to RP with a laser focus on long term percentages around the cancer recurring. I was a Gleason 7(3+4) in July of '21 and took 4 months to make a well reasoned decision. After reading every research paper I could find on the various options, my decision pointed to RP as offering the highest likelihood of remaining on this side of the dirt. To each his own and best of luck to you!
