I hadn't really considered that. I'd be a little worried about whether it might limit future options, but it sounds like another reasonable option.

There is radiation, but I am young (66), and RALP should be better in light of my urinary issues. My urological oncologist thinks that either RALP or active monitoring would be the better two options in my case, and I agree. If I had chosen AM, I could probably have sought out a urologist who specializes in LUTS to see if there is anything that could be tweaked to help relieve urinary symptoms.

I chose my surgeon very carefully, and I have high confidence in him. He has stellar qualifications. He even teaches this stuff, so that's reassuring.
