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

Just like your photo shows on the right side, “chance” months to years. My longevity gives me 20+- more years. Is it worth that risk? Not for me. I am leaning strongly just to have it removed, and yes, there are consequences with that too, but looks like more that I can live with.
Thanks for the info.

@bbqpitmaster Nothing wrong with your choice os surgery - especially and most importantly, that you are more comfortable with it.
There are no wrong choices here because they ALL suck! You just have to pick the choice that’s right for you…

I got all that stuff on the right, started maybe 8 years after Prostate removal and 7 after radiation. Just because you have it removed does not mean you will not be back for RT.

I decided on surgery when I was 62. My father had radiation and It came back so I figured I’d try surgery.. That gave me 3 1/2 years before it came back and I had to have salvage radiation.
No side effects at all from that radiation other than incontinence six years later, which could’ve been due to the surgery as well.
Still here 16 years after surgery.
