Take your time on self-education and evaluating options. This isn't a house fair that requires water in minutes or the structure is destroyed, this is a forest fire and your scope and timeline is much more.

At age 60 my friend had GS7 and surgery and 11 years later his PSA is always below 0.1 - At age 41 I had GS6 (which became GS7) and surgery and 11 years later my PSA rose and now on ADT. Point of sharing this is that biochemical recurrence is a real risk of any treatment, but it surely isn't guaranteed.

The PCRI mid-year conference of Spring 2023 has many hours of excellent videos, it isn't the same as binge watching Netflix, but with the same mindset, 10-15 hours later you will know much more. https://pcri.org/2023-myu The PCF had a similar series in Fall of 2022

Keep the Faith. Stay Positive.

Great advice here. Also seek out consultation by video with the experts at centers of excellence. I’m a big fan of Dr. Kishan at Ucla. He’s got quite a few YouTube videos and multiple interviews you can Google. Don’t rush it. Take advantage of the guys on this forum, as well. Best of luck.
