Do you regret having had a prostatectomy vs. radiation, or vice-versa?

I'm with you. Urologist wants to RARP, Oncologist wants to SBRT. Turned down by Mayo for Tulsa Pro, going to Moffitt for IRE consultation. If that fails, I may let it play out as earlier death may be better than RARP or ADT. I'm 67, 4+3. Still searching for decent alternatives.

I had RARP and almost two years ago. My life has been back to normal for more than a year. I cannot imagine wanting death over the inconveniences following RARP.

You could also try radiation without or only short-term ADT. Would give you better odds than doing nothing.
