I’m 74 with two 8 cores and two 9. No spread as per nuclear bone scan, PET, and MRI. I had robotic surgery at Mayo on 7/10. Also removed lymph nodes, sems, and vans. All were clear as were bladder margins. I feel good about my decision and am recovering nicely and improving continence daily. If I have problems down the road, all radiation options are open. Radiating first basically eliminates future surgery, as I understand it. I can live without a prostate as long as I’m also living without cancer but I realize everyone and every case is different. Praying for you as you work through this decision.
