Has anyone opted for radiation therapy with localized high risk prostate cancer at a relatively young age? Say, before 55? Did you have recurrences?

I am also approaching nine doctors. The urologist are 100% on surgery to the point that they think radiation would be madness. The radiologists tell me both are good options. The oncologist is slightly bent towards radiation. The PCRI guy favoring radiation.

I am GS8 in two small volume cores. My Decipher is 0.2.

Glad to hear that tou do not have any ED or incontinence. I believe you said somewhere that you had epe. Did they do partial or full nerve sparing?

Partial, almost full. They took very few nerves.

For me, even the radiation oncologists said "we don't recommend radiation, but it is an option if you choose it".
