How old is he? If over (around) 75 then radiation would probably be better. Has he had a PSMA PET scan to see if the cancer has spread anywhere else in his body. That alone can make the decision because if it has spread than radiation is usually used.
It’s not very frequent that they recommend both surgery and radiation right away. After surgery, they always wanna wait a few months before they will do radiation.
Getting a decipher test might help decide what to do.
You don’t mention his Gleason score and that could be a big factor.
