Thank you very much for the information. My goal is to remove the cancer and try to avoid major sexual and urinary function side effects, if possible.

I believe that because I had the mridian radiation machine and real time MRI with smaller margins that it was the reason I had few side effects. I had 5 hypo fractional radiation treatments. After the third treatment, I started Flomax and within 24 hours my urine flow improved. I stopped the Flomax about a month or so thereafter. The flow of semen was never fully interrupted just less than before. Other than that, I really had no other symptoms to this day.
