Honestly: 100% I would choose surgery again. No problem with continence.
Right choice for me. And I believe that Prostatectomy, particularly at lower Gleason scores, offers an excellent chance for a long term solution.
Clearly, Radiation and ADT the right choice for others.
Best to all.

I am still in the research phase and my situation is unique from what I understand but I am getting a second opinion.

I still prefer the RP route from my research so far as it leaves Radiation Therapy on the table in case you need it down the road after surgery but if you take Radiation Therapy the RP is typically no longer on the table as an option as it becomes too risky.

Hope this helps.
