Making the decision is a huge part of the process. I went with surgery as well. It is really the only way to learn the exact extent of the prostate cancer, the entire removal of the culprit, and the best way to move forward. We spoke to the country's best and I remember the doctor's opinion when we pinned him down to learn what he would do if it were him. He responded,
"I would want it out of there." That was the decider in my opinion. For me, the worst part was waiting for the surgery and it was really not that bad. Best wishes.

Hi Rose,
I am Tom's wife. Being the spouse in this situation can be very difficult. It is a step by step process. Not the way anyone planned or looked forward to their retirement. We have learned how many families are going through this, however, how they have dealt with it all, and for the most part, positive outcomes. Tom was diagnosed in 2020. If you have any wife to wife questions, I am here. Best, Dee
