It is confined to just the prostate at this time. Urologist says it's intermediate aggressive but my history with esophageal cancer and it's aggressive nature is concern for treat over watch. My concerns are side effects of treatments as I am not an old man yet and still wanna play house.

If you still “wanna play house” radiation (even with ADT during treatment) will give you a better chance than surgery.

You might want to consider one of the focal therapies. I chose Tulsa pro in July. I was also Gleason 7 but 4+3, with intermediate risk. I was 65 the time and liked the technology and the low risk of side effects. I was able to “play” one week after treatment and haven’t looked back! My PSA dropped from 8.62 0.68 in three months.
