At 64 surgery can give you the option of radiation in the future. If you were to have radiation, then it would not be possible to do a second time in the same place, but radiation could also give you long-term Remission.

Because you are only a Gleason 7 frequently the surgery can put you into remission for the long-term. It’s hard to call it cured because it does come back for a significant percentage of people.

Was your Gleason seven a 4+3 or 3+4? When I had surgery, I was only a 3+4, but after surgery they found I was a 4+3. I know people that were Gleason seven before surgery and are Gleason nine after. Surgery will tell a lot about what’s really going on with your cancer.

You should request a decipher score. That will tell whether or not there is a possibility of you’re having a reoccurrence. It varies a lot.

@bobby1313 I should have mention I had a very aggressive cancer....I was told not to wait to make a decision...your on a great place to ask questions if you have the time...keep searching...it does help. I wish I had been on this Mayo Clinic sight before I pulled the trigger. My surgeon was Dr William Catalona at Northwestern medical in Chicago, Illinois...he takes care of very famous people all over the world...maybe see him too...just a thought...
