Surgery or Radiation + Hormone Therapy

Thanks Ben1 and Michael Charles for your comments. I have scheduled with a Radiologist this Friday to discuss this option and I have an appointment with my Urologist next week to discuss the surgery option. I will have more information and questions after next week. The Factor V Leiden complication is I will have to go off my blood thinner (Eliquis) for several days and blood clots can reoccur. I already have blood clots in my left leg so I think about that a lot. Thanks again for the comments. Keep them coming. I need the support and information right now.

@sps488 If going off your blood thinner is a concern, I would be leaning quite strongly toward radiation since I'm quite sure you keep taking all your meds while being treated. I did.
Good luck, I will say whatever you choose you will probably suffer from "Buyer's Remorse" after it's done, thinking why I didn't choose the other option.
