You don’t really give us any information that can be used to give you Advice. We need to know your Gleason score, what your PSA When diagnosed, How old you are now, did you get a decipher test or something like What was the result?. Was there anything else in your biopsy? How many cars were taken and had cancer?

Surgery and radiation have about the same success rate. You have less ED with radiation. Surgery is a little harder on the body, but then you can have radiation if it comes back.

Instead of Lauren, you could ask if you could have Orgovyx, A pill you take once a day. When you stop, your testosterone comes back much quicker.

@jeffmarc: When you say that surgery and radiation have similar success rates, as you often do, you refer to surgery only, correct? What RT do you compare it to? My reading is that RTmax (EBRT+Brachy boost+ADT) is slightly better than surgery only but has higher toxicity snd even higher ED risk. Are you comparing to RT monotherapy?
