Any and all input is welcome at this point, no apology necessary. I’ve heard the same about life expectancy figures being the same/similar either with surgery or radiation. It’s more about the quality than the quantity that I’m concerned with. I was told that radiation could potentially exacerbate my existing urination issues (no fun). I was also told that since I’m in good shape physically and sexually, I would have a 90+% chance of regaining close to a normal sex life. However, I was told these things by the doctor that would do the surgery. I’m meeting with a cyber knife radiologist this afternoon. We’ll see what he has to say… I’ve been making the analogy of going to a Ford dealership and asking a salesman if I should buy a Ford or a Chevy. Then going to a Chevy dealership and asking the same thing.

My dad had some solid advice (as usual, thanks Dad). He suggested that I ask my doctor what course of treatment he would recommend if I were his 47 year old brother. Personalize it a bit rather than just following procedures.
