You can do a lot of learning before you make your decision. All the comments here are excellent and even though there’s no great rush to get this done in a month Gleason 4+3 unfavorable needs to be addressed.
PSMA, unfortunately, does not show micrometastasis so even though nothing lights up on the scan it doesn’t mean your nodes are clear.
Your chances of success/failure with either surgery or radiation is the same. Surgery does, however, give you a second chance down the road if the cancer recurs. You can then do radiation with or without ADT to attempt a cure or a long term band aid to fix the problem.
