Hello, it sounds like you have been pretty thorough in your research. After monitoring my rising PSA levels, having a subsequent Prostate MRI followed by a Prostate Biopsy my Prostate Cancer had already surpassed “Active Surveillance and Watchful Waiting!” I needed to treat my cancer within 4-6 weeks through surgery or radiation. They both have the same efficacy and treatment outcomes. As a result, there is no one best or better treatment option. However, after you’ve completed enough research and consults with a surgeon and radiologist it will become more clear as to which option would be the best TRT choice for you personally.
For a number of reasons, I chose the surgical option.
Primarily because if my cancer returns within the next 5 years or so I can pursue the radiation option at that time. Conversely, if you start with the radiation option, you can’t utilize the surgical option if your cancer returns.
I also require “TRT,” TESTOSTERONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY to treat my HYPOGONADISM. Radiation normally utilizes “ADT,” ANDROGEN DEPRAVATION THERAPY through LUPRON injections or something similar. Basically, it’s Medical Castration. This is in direct conflict to the purpose and protocol of my “TRT!” Those were a few considerations I had to consider in making my treatment decision. In addition to some other important factors, it became obvious to me that the surgical route was the best personal choice for me.
When you have completed enough research you will know which choice will best suit you and your risk attitudes, personal risk attitudes and needs.
Best wishes and good luck.
