I have seen studies that show almost no difference in life expectancy of 15 years for prostate cancer if you do nothing, have an RP, or radiation. If you are 74 and get 15 years that puts you at 89. Almost sounds like you are looking forward to living in a nursing home. I went with the radiation because I am your age but looking at the obits we are still older than many in the news that are dead way younger than us. I say all the time that no one gets off this rock alive. Good luck and as Spock said "Live long and prosper".
Please clarify first PSA post surgery of 10/19. I have never seen that method of reporting one's PSA. Normal reading would be < .008 or < .010
