@higgins56 do extensive research before undergoing any treatment at all. The Protect T Trial indicates active surveillance is EQUAL to RP and radiation in the ultimate outcome (only 3 in 100 die from prostate cancer, no matter the form of treatment). Most need some form of treatment eventually, but many do not. Research, research, research, then decide.

This specifically talks about people with localized prostate cancer. If you have an advanced case with spread, it’s a totally different issue.

I saw from my father die from it at 88 and it was pretty brutal. He had radiation as a treatment. His father lived to 98.
