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 PCRI, e.g., says that is outdated thinking.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.

I had RP almost two years ago with ZERO incontinence issues. The most difficult thing was after my pathology report came back, my Gleason score was a higher risk than my biopsy showed. Doing great so far. No issues. Hoping and praying for more of the same. You too!
