Thank you for sharing your story and insights into things that potentially effect and would concern us all.
I regret that you have realized some conditions that resulted in less than favorable outcomes.
I hope that your future may see great improvement!

So, knowing what you know now, and in review of past decisions, what would you do differently today?
Thank you!
PAUL

Back in 2006 when I was first diagnosed I consulted four doctors for opinions.
I also spoke to as many men that I knew who had been treated for prostate cancer. Those who had had surgery were dissatisfied with their outcomes.
I also surveyed the literature.
I don't regret the decision that I made at the time. I would go through the same process today. Bearing in mind that both surgery and radiation therapy have improved tremendously in the last 18 years, I don't know what my decision would be today.
