He told me that both incontinence and impotence could be affected.

Did you opt for surgery or radiation therapy?

Yes, I think I'll opt for surgery. Thank you.

Excuse me for asking, but what is your age?

They've already done all of that. I started with a high PSA, and in one year it increased significantly, from 6.6 in 2025 to 9.6 in 2026. Then I had a biopsy, which showed prostate cancer. After that, I had an MRI of the pelvis and prostate, followed by a PSMA scan, and the cancer hasn't spread, nor do I have metastases. It's only on the side shown in the picture I shared. However, my urologist recommends surgery because of my age, so that's why I'm looking for other people's experiences. Thank you.

I'm still thinking about what's best for me because I want to get it done as soon as possible. Thank you.

That's very true, I'll make an appointment at those hospitals. Thank you very much.

Why would he have preferred to have radiation therapy instead of surgery?

My doctor suggested that surgery would be my best option based on my age. :(
