      The whole thing seems to be in a status of flux. I am in this category myself and you really have to look around.
      You can take the Radiation and stick it. This is old stuff. It should be banned. Fortunately, there are new methods coming on board.

    Thank you sir, for your time. I wish i had the money and time to pop over to NY and undertake your treatment, but i have settled on my course of treatment here in the UK.

      Proton is generally done with 45 sessions MRIdian SBRT is only 5 sessions. The MIRAGE study showed that MRI guidance reduces side effects with CT guidance (like proton) by around 50%

More importantly with all,of the radiation choices, if ADT or hormone therapy is required than that can DRASTICALLY change the comparisons

      ​@Vincent50 Yes. I went through this and it is taxing. I met with first my primary doctor, my urologist, my oncologist, the surgery team, and radiation team. I needed to educated myself prior to sitting down with each of them. Most touched about everything I read and researched but there were one or two things that each didn't and they were caught off guard when I brought them up. Also keep in mind, all theses specialists will speak with you through the knowledge of knowing your health coverage. In short I choose radiation therapy 30 rounds. The results are mixed, still trying to determine if it was successful.

I don't have a penis myself but I have observed that the relationship between a man and his dick is a very deep one so I can understand his fears of losing his erection at 57. That's what has been holding him up for these two years.

The two may not agree with the most effective approach, as was my case. I chose surgery by a urologist. He said “radiation is like trying to drive a nail with a brick”. Absolutely true story.

      You are correct really, There is a huge "fight" going on between Urology and Radiology, Who is better and why and since the Urologists are usually the ones to diagnose PC there opinion and argument is the first said so most men just do what they say. My Urologist looked me in the eye and outright lied to me saying Radical Prostatectomy was my only choice. All of his co-working pears said total BS. I have many choices.

Is this really any kind of quality of life? I'm 60 and I've chosen to do nothing about my prostate cancer that was diagnosed when I was 55--not even a biopsy as I don't want to know my Gleason score--and five years later I'm still here and having some of the best sex of my life AND don't wet myself.

    I had intended to share my experience with this problem but I don't think it would help anyone currently trying to choose a treatment for this problem. I can only say I sympathise, having never been ill before it was like a punch in the face to be told I had a life threatening illness. Even now it seems that diagnosis and type of treatment are largely a lottery. Now, 10 years later I am still here though no longer able to function sexually. I still apologise to my wife as obviously it has affected both of us, but although I tried various remedies I eventually had enough of embarrassment, humiliation and failure. And following co id, I keep as far away from the medical profession as possible.

      @@joemaxwell1044 Hi Joe. I too am 68 and after I responded four months ago and lots of research I decided what would be best for me is radiation and hormone therapy (ADT). I prayed hard and I surely didn’t want to interrupt my life so this was my decision. The only side effect that’s a pain in the a** is HOT 🥵 FLASHES. They come and go when I least expect it especially at night when I awake to go to the bathroom here it comes and to ease the sweating I usually turn on the fan. I still work, exercise, and tailoring my diet cause weight gain is an issue as the testosterone level goes down (ADT) does this. The other side effect is the radiation enlarges the prostate so urinating can be a problem so after a three weeks of starting the treatment my Dr prescribed Tamsulosin which I take once a day which helps me empty my bladder 👍🏽. I feel great overall and have 7 remaining treatments left out of 44. Stay in prayer and I’ll keep you in mine as you research which treatment will be best for you. Good Luck.

I do know the Mayo Clinic mostly in AZ has a 2 step process, 1st infusion finds and binds itself to cancer 2nd infusion is radioactive and only becomes activated when it finds and binds to the 1st molecule that has attached to a cancer cell killing the cancer. It is having great success from what my doctor at Mayo told me.
