Thanks for sharing this. I'm 51 and just got confirmation of diagnosis (i.e., after PSA of 7.5, MRI showing suspicious growths, and biopsy results just coming in) and doctor recommends surgery as the only option he supports. I had thought targeted radiation might be an option, but sounds like based on my age and loss of options if I go the radiation route that this is the best direction of travel. It's bilateral with 3 + 4 =7 (group 2) on one side and 3 + 3 =6 (group 2) on the other side.

Not sure I have specific questions right now but if there is something I should be asking please tell me.

This came as a shock to me (but it's not like I knew much going into this) but after 24 hours I had really started to process that first and foremost now I am a cancer patient - not just a guy with a prostate problem.
