@ray092271 Hey Ray, it’s really a coin toss, sorry to say; but I will tell you this.
When I was diagnosed at age 64 with Gleason 4+3 in most of my prostate, I consulted two different RO’s who said they could treat me successfully.
I then went to a very well known NYC prostate surgeon.
After looking at my biopsy report (which wasn’t good) he sat back and said, “You know, if you were 10 years older, even I would recommend radiation; but you’re too young and there’s a good chance this could come back.”
I had surgery but my point is that even this surgeon - who had something like 4000 RARP procedures on his resume (also worked with pioneers of DaVinci system) - was recommending radiation IF I were 74 - your exact age.
Take that for what it’s worth but my diagnosis was far worse than yours and even the famous surgeon was advocating radiation for men in your age range. Best,
Phil
