My father had radiation treatment in the mid 90's and should message boards like this one been around at that time you would have heard from a lot of disgruntled end users.

Different story today.

The surgery route is still being chosen by a lot of people however, with the primary reason for selection being that you can radiate after surgery but not do surgery after radiation. I kind of get it but...

I chose radiation and would not do surgery for any reason. Would much rather spot radiate any areas that lit up on a PET PSMA scan and/or do some kind of hormone therapy at a later date. Hopefully that is 10 to 15 years out at a minimum.

The AI revolution is real and hopefully that will lead to a cure for cancer or some treatment that drastically impedes the growth of it. We shall see, An interesting next 10 years awaits us.
