Thank you for the reply. I appreciate your insights. I am scheduled for a decipher test, PSMA pet, and at Artera test. My squamous cells were negative on the biopsy so I assumed that’s the duct.

I have not heard about the long-term incontinence associated with radiation therapy. Thank you for this insight and I will investigate it further. Ron

All of the oncologists I spoke with also mentioned the bowel incontinence, in addition to bladder incontinence, is not uncommon with radiation therapy either. I know that's not always the case, but it was one of the big factors that I weighed when considering radiation - any chance of having both was more than I was willing to bear.
