@brucemobile & @jayhall I have been in this support group for more than a month. My impression, based on the many postings I have read, is that for those diagnosed early (in the 50's or 60's), surgery is a good option. For those in their 70's and over, radiation may be better. I was 68 when diagnosed. My first option was robotic assisted radical prostatectomy, but after considering my family's concerns about surgery at my age, I reconsidered and I am now scheduled for SBRT April 9 - 21 for five treatments. I hope it goes well for me, and for the gentlemen (younger or older) who choose surgery.
