Did you discuss the radiation option with your medical team? In my case, since the cancer had already metastasised to my spine, my medical team and I elected for radiation rather than a radical prostatectomy.

1. I had emergency debulking surgery to my spine at T3, since the lesion had grown quickly and left me temporarily paraplegic.

2. I started on Firmagon and Erleada right after the surgery to shut down both testosterone production and reception.

3. I had radiation treatment to my spine once I'd had a few weeks to heal from the surgery.

4. I had radiation treatment to my prostate 6 months later.

My PSA was 67 when the cancer was discovered; now, 26 months later, it's still holding at < 0.1.

Best of luck whatever you decide. For sure, it's a big life change.
