Doc just recommended treatment options, head is spinning! Thoughts?

I just got my options with my Dr on Tuesday. MRI, CT, and PET scans all show it is still contained. So much to absorb, and decide. He did mention that with my age, age, longevity, he recommends surgery over radiation. But he gave me the option that I can talk with radiology if I want to see what they say. My Dr did say that after radiation 5-10 yrs later there is a possibility of bladder or colon bleeding without anything to do to repair/fix it.
Everyone is different, so there is many different outcomes. It will be a personal decision.

Must admit that is the first time I’ve ever heard of a doctor saying that after 5 to 10 years there is a possible problem with bladder or Colon bleeding after radiation. While there is some truth to it Here are some more specific information from a radiation oncologist.
