Go here and compare your probability of cure vs the major treatment pathways

Don’t use cellphone use a computer.
There are 3 graphs, one each for low, intermediate, and high risk. Sounds like you might be high? (Risk of recurrence after treatment).
The elipses can be confusing. I put a dot on each eclipse and drew a line to make it easier to intemperate. If you need help readin the charts get it.
You will notice that chance of cure starts well for RP (removal) but drops as risk increases. At high risk you are down to 40-50% chance of cure.
Compare that to radiation options.
Get Dr Scholz book where you can stage yourself.
You need to learn to survive.
This zone is flooded with bad information. You will hear different stats from every damn doctor. Im sorry but the cancer is not the most dangerous thing here. Getting steered wrong is just as deadly.

Thanks, I looked at it, but need to take more time to study it, pretty confusing. And it keeps popping up people donating money all the time in lower left of screen. Seems like a lot of donations or they are just doing that to get donations? Also one icon says RP surgery and another says Robot Surgery. I am guessing RP surgery is just open surgery and not robot which i didn't think anyone even did anymore? I would think all RP would be done with something like the Da Vinci system.
