One thing to consider. Most surgeons have said that if you choose radiation, that RP is not an option if radiation is unsuccessful. Best wishes🤞

No, I appreciate that. But it is not a universal understanding. PCRI, e.g., says that is outdated thinking. If you have a recurrence after RP, you will normally be doing radiation. If you have a recurrence there are options including radiation depending on the type of recurrence. I know men that swear by both. I’m not liking the possibilities of side effects with RP and I’m not good with anesthesia. So, it’s really a personal decisions with lots of factors to consider.
