Jeff,
Yeah, my father lived to 93, almost 94. As far as I know, I’m the only one stuck with PC. I’m not going to make it that far. That I can tell you.
My brother is 76. His PSA is 0.6. Never goes up. So, there’s that.
I did the surgery. Initially there are some side effects but they go away after a few months. Radiation gets worse.
My friend had surgery, external beam, then adjuvant brachytherapy a few months later. I asked him how things are going. He said my stuff doesn’t work. Then I asked him how is girlfriend felt about that. He said, she sticks around as long as I pay the bills.
This is why I chose surgery. If it comes back, there’s plan B, radiation. I guess you could call it Plan R (Dr. Strange love.)
