Anyone have a prostate stricture – choices

@lsk1000 My brother died of that disease in '96, my father of gastric cancer and my sister of colon cancer so I'm a little influenced mentally by that. I'm looking into the stricture angle as I worry that it will leave me neither radiation or prostatectomy and permanently on ADT. I have an appointment with Oncology end Sept. and just want to be part of the decision as to what next.

@allex50 Sorry about your siblings, I know first hand what that is like. I believe…. If you choose surgery and there are no issues with the margins (cancer well contained in prostate) radiation might be avoided, and therefore taking stricture off the table.
