The average life expectancy for USA males is 77.27 for men so you probably do not have 30 years ahead of you.

If you insist on doing treatment, I would be doing the one with the least side effects. They all have similar prostate cancer specific mortality rates.

The quote that "surgery is painless and the recovery is fast" is probably not the general consensus.

What % of Gleason 4 are we talking about? Did you have an MRI? Visible lesions?

4+3 10%, 3+4 30% and 3+4 75%
Yes MRI and yes some visible lesions.
