Radiation has the same overall survival as radical prostatectomy, so don't worry that you're at more risk because you can't have the RALP. If there's been undetected spread just outside the prostate, radiation might catch that as well, while a RALP will not (unless you follow it up with radiation).

Best of luck, and DM me if you'd like to talk more about navigating the care system in Ontario.

Thank you. From previous experience, one needs to learn to “advocate” for oneself in this environment. If I am being considered a nuisance, well, so be it. Appreciate the insight as well as the offer of assistance.
