Thanks for the Information my Gleason score was 3+4=7. I haven’t been explained about the decipher test that I can remember but I will be asking they Quentin and researching it . I have my follow up appointment soon with my doctor. I have a very experienced doctor and I have a lot of confidence in him. From the start of this journey until present I like him and the staff. Trying to find a radiologist equal to him in there field to just listen but at the end of the day I feel my quality of life is the most important thing to me after my decision. I have to really figure out what is best for me in that regard 100% . My choice is the right choice for me . This group really helped to be able to talk with real people that live with this like me . Not a easy diagnosis to get and navigate through.

It is TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE for any of us to predict your QOL after either treatment.
I put that in caps because it’s a fact.
Side effects vary GREATLY from person to person - even with the same surgeon/RO over a wide population. I think your main thought right now should be, “Holy shit, I have prostate cancer - I want it GONE!”
Do as much research as you can to try to determine what treatment will effect that end in YOUR case.
Remember, cutting it out may not do it; burning it out may not either. You have to look at your Gleason, Decipher score (very important) and volume. Go from there….and always have a plan B!! Best,
