Hi Tony, I was recently diagnosed with prostrate cancer (Dec24) and three weeks ago had my prostrate removed. I was also given the option of having radiotherapy or removal (RALP). I did enquire about the relatively new radiotherapy treatment where you had five sessions over a week rather than 20 sessions over four weeks but it was decided this would not be suitable as my cancer was very close to the edge of the prostrate. As a consequence, and having spoken with both surgeon and radiotherapist, I went for the op. Main reasons for me were: radiotherapy is still an option should it be needed, although all relatively low risks, surgery is less likely to effect the bowel and if I did end up with incontinence then i would sooner it be bladder than bowel. I have a meeting next week to be given the histology results. Catheter only came out last week post - my bladder seems ok and only the small occasional leak which is considerably less than I was expecting. Don’t think there is any right or wrong decision, it is what is best for you. Hope all goes well.
