@gfeaglefan I was gleason 3+3. Decided on LARP. Only because I thought it gave me the best chance to be rid of it and I could always have other treatments. Its been 6 years with < .01 PSA. My feeling is I can never call myself cured. I have the PSA done now every 6 months but not going to get over confident.

Gold standard for 100% cure.
I think not! I have had most of it - not chemo (yet) RP 12 years ago - recurrence then 39 salvage radiation, metastasis recurrence with SBRT, metastasis recurrence with SBRT, PSA this afternoon.
I have no false hopes for being cured
