Oh hammer101, everything you've shared in getting to where you are, are exactly the things we're thinking about. Thanks for sharing your rationales in deciding. My husband's leaning toward RP since getting his 0.8 Decipher score last week. So lots of talking and serious thinking going on here right now. I feel sure I want him to have an RP, for the many reasons discussed in this chat. Reasons like you've shared here! But the decision, obviously, is his. I expect he will decide on his treatment soon. Yep, we're lucky to be at Mayo Rochester. Hope those PSAs continue to be "undetectable" for you! Jim's older than you; hopefully he'll do as well as you have! Wishing you well!

Rose, if you are looking for a great surgeon at Mayo-Rochester I would highly recommend Dr. Igor Frank. He has done thousands of radical prostatectomies, and was the first at Mayo to perform the robotic RP. He is not only an incredible surgeon, but has outstanding bedside manner. I am not someone that really cares about bedside manner, but it was amazing - He is willing to talk to you for as long as you want, answer all questions/concerns you have.

Good luck and praying your husband has the best possible outcome.

Jim
