Is 76 too old for prostate cancer surgery?

My surgeon told me that I was a bit old at 75 for surgery, & referred me to a radiologist. I wasn't having any of it. I visited the radiologist, but had the surgeon do it, & couldn't have been more pleased. I woke up with 5 tiny bandages across my beltline, & no pain. I walked that night in the hospital, & the next morning they told me to get dressed & go home. No incontinence. This was at the U. Wash. Medical Center.

@readandlearn I am 70 and having surgery on March 3. I hope I have the same results.
