I agree with kujhawk. I hope you’ve also discussed the possibility of radiation as an initial treatment. Radiation, if appropriate for your case, is much more effective than it was 22 years ago when I had my surgery. It also can have less side effects if done by experienced doctors and techs. Information that has helped me along the way has come from PCRI.org. The Prostate Cancer Research Institute.

Thank you scullrower. I will consider radiation as well. As I mentioned above to Kevin, my brother has prostate cancer and has been told brachytherapy with, as he describes, a radioactive disk (did not mention seed) is inserted by/in prostate.
I did go to Pcri.org. Lots of great info.

I have yet to see a decent comparison of results, side effects and inconveniences between prostate removal and radiation/hormone therapy choices.
