@davederousseau ...Hello..thanks for sharing your story. I'm just getting cold feet. I've just read so many different things on so many different sites. I just don't know if my situation really needs surgery. Thank you for sharing.

@bobby1313 hey pal, if your feet weren’t frostbitten you’d be abnormal!
I had similar pathology but was G4+3. I opted for surgery (kicking and screaming) because I was 64 at the time and wanted to have a second chance to hit it again if need be with radiation.
Turns out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made since my cancer did come back five years later and I finished salvage radiation just about a year ago today – in fact, exactly one year ago today.
My PSA’s are currently undetectable so it’s all good for now, but who knows what fun and thrills the future will bring? Always gotta keep your options OPEN!

If you haven't been to another doc, preferably a well known one like Mayo, for a second opinion, you should do that. It is an easy process and detailed here in other chat threads. Laurie, a volunteer mentor, posted this earlier this month:
“You can also contact Mayo directly with your questions:
Start your appointment request use this link http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63.
Your request will be reviewed and a time will be set up to discuss with an appointment coordinator to assist you with the process.”
