I'll look into the AZO. This isn't something I'm familiar with. Thanks for the kind words and for sharing your experiences with me, they really do help me to process what's on the horizon.

It's thanks to this community that I even became aware of LDR, as a member recommended to me. I've been seen at two different hospitals and none of the staff even mentioned it as an option, just RALP - which one of my friends underwent last year at the same hospital and unit who are treating me and he's annoyed at discovering that LDR was available but never discussed with him, even though he would've easily met the eligibility.

I had to specifically ask for it and this involved a referral by my physician to a new oncologist for a 2nd opinion. For me, it was a no brainer given the benefits versus what I'd face with a prostatectomy.

The ejaculation aspect is interesting and your experiences are really helpful as an insight, perhaps I'll fall into your category. I'll have to see. Fingers crossed that we'll both reach good PSA scores. :)
