Prostate Cancer Foundation (pcf.org) has a free Patient Guide- downloadable or hard copy which is a good start.
"Surviving Cancer " by Patrick Walsh, MD is an excellent resource, used and recommended by many.
Surgery/Radiation with or without ADT hormone therapy and AS (active surveillance) are the 3 treatment approaches.
Good luck with your consultation; your Urologist should provide more clarity to your situation.

That guide has one inaccurate piece of information saying that proton treatments are experimental or at least their writing leads you to that conclusion. I wrote to them about this and never received an answer. I find so much bias against proton without a good reason for that bias.
