    Horror stories

    YES BY ALL MEANS take the chance ..horror stories happen most men after surgery are great ...like yelp u only hear bad reviews ...surgery 2 side effects only ......radaiation HA theres about 10 to 15 side effects ...trust me I know I git them all ...radiation should be used as a last resort in my book ...look at lighter wood he did surgery and is great ..

    Radiation

    Steve,

    What you fail to grasp is that if the cancer is outside the prostate, then he will wind up doing radiation anyway, with two potential sets of side effects.  Surgery will not work for him.  He needs a treatment that has a chance of getting all the cancer!

    Solve the problem

    Hi Fred,

    I will never forget the day in my Internal Medical doctors office before I had my biopsy he said "I think you have cancer".  What a blow but after I did learn it was cancer via the biopsy the immediate question in my mind was what do I have to do to either kill or arrest the cancer.  I felt the sooner I delt with it the better so I listened to the Urologist and Oncologist and went on from there.  Nobody wants to hear the cancer word but the guy behind my house is dealing with Pancreatic cancer which in my non medical opinion is worse than my cancer.  Take it one step at a time if it is cancer. It was easier for me to deal in smaller steps than think about the rest of my life all at once.  Your doctors should provide you with a treatment map if needed on your first future steps. All of us here either have had cancer at one point and are here years later to talk about it.
