My husband has been diagnosed with prostate cancer Gleason Score 7 (3+4) group grade 2 with PNI. We haven’t discussed options with the urologist but have a follow up appt next week. He is 77.
I am 64 . We are focusing on focal therapy vs surgery at this time/and or radiation therapy. All this so new and anxiety for me is running high.
We want surgery to be our last resort given his age and he has diabetes. Just looking for information to help us make the best informed decision.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Prostate Cancer Support Group.

Very sorry to hear of your husband’s diagnosis. At his age post 75, very few Surgeons consider surgery, typically Radiation. Focal therapies also kick the can down the road with typically recurrences. This forum will provide alot of information to assist your discussions with your husband’s Urologist. Jeff Marchi and Clevelandguy on this board are able to provide exceptional guidance.
