Why did you choose surgery instead of radiation or vise versa?

I’m 71 and in excellent health(knock on wood). I was diagnosed with 3+4=7 on one core out of 14 taken. I saw two very reputable urologists to discuss my options. Both of them agreed that removal was my best option. The doctor that will perform the surgery told me that anything over 1(10%) he believes surgery is the best option. He has done over 1,000 surgeries. My regular urologist told me when selecting a surgeon to have a real comfort level with my choice. I’m comfortable with my decision. Surgery is in 3 weeks🙏🤞

I'm 59, and just had Radical Prostatectomy surgery 4 months ago. The cancer was removed and everything is clean after my 3 month check up as well. I too had 3+4=7 on 1 core out of 14. Wishing you the best! I'm sure you've been told this, but be prepared to wear pads for sometime afterwards. I am down to 1 daily now. But glad that I had the surgery.
