Trying to decide treatment options and quality of life after

Yup, agree…but as I said in a previous thread, I was much more concerned with the prostate cancer I have NOW, than the possible one(s) I may get in the future.
And even more so in my case, since my urologist did caution me that radiation ‘could’ make my previously treated bladder cancer re-awaken and move to a more aggressive type.
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t - pick your poison, right?😖

Agreed < 3 Of course !!! It is just unfortunate that most ROs (it seems) skip that part during consultations and present radiation almost like some "extreme spa treatment" (like the dude with colorful ties). As long as we have full picture, all is well. One can than know what to observe and what to pay attention to and act preemptively and/or on time.
As my husband's cardiologist says :"EVERYTHING is fixable" ! One just needs to be proactive and search for the best doctors and treatments and never give up. BTW, he also was recently diagnosed with PC : (((. He is still 3+3 and may it stay that way forever. He is such a nice person and amazing doctor and in his 50-ies. : (((
