For me, the major relevant "surgery vs. radiation" factor was the location of the PC within the prostate gland based on the findings of the MRI report.

If the PC is touching the edge of the prostate gland (which was the situation for me), then I'd be very worried of microscopic PC extension being outside the prostate. So...if there were microscopic PC extension outside of my prostate, then radiation would take care of that concern whereas surgery could not.

If I had no PC contact with the edge of my prostate, then I would have selected surgery.

Add one of the PCRI conferences the doctor said this

Kwon and Moyad agree to this. Seeds for metastasis were already there when surgery was done, waiting to grow.

Makes one wonder what’s really going on.
