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.

Sounds like you’re doing your research. Excellent! It’s important to take charge. Knowledge is power and helps one’s mental state. I have emailed questions to PCRI and the volunteers there are quick to respond and helpful. You might ask them about comparisons between radiation and surgery.
