No, prostatectomy was not the only option, but at the time I was led to believe the cancer was still contained inside the prostate. I wanted to get rid of it so I chose prostatectomy. After surgery the doctor said my cancer was definitely not contained. It had already invaded other organs as a stage 4 cancer. So the long battle began.
