Still in a state of shock but need to choose a treatment option. I really don’t want urinary issues or ED. I would welcome comments from those who have been treated. Thank you.
Hi Jhonny, I'm in the same boat. I am an absolute mess. Deciding what treatment to choose is as bad as having a cancer diagnosis. At moment I have chosen Active Surveillance.
Not sure if its the right choice, but the alternatives- the side effects - well I'm not ready for that.
Maybe when I'm more scared of the cancer than the side effects, then I can make a more rational decision.

Hi Mack-Mack, we’re in the same position, they offered me AS at the moment since April this year, Radiation therapy is not prefferably for me because of my age. Im sure time will come we’ll get throught with this thing.
Hi Mack Mack. Try not to worry as that won’t help. I am nearly 4 months into hormone therapy. The side effects have been negligible and my PSA has collapsed from 10.2 to 0.4.. I will have 4 weeks of radiotherapy in March. My oncologist reckons their success rate with a diagnosis like mine (Gleason 3+4) is “in the high 90’s). I don’t regret not having surgery. This was the right choice for me. Good luck and keep your chin up.
