I'm 71. I had radiation and hormone therapy almost two years ago. So far so good. My latest PSA reading is 0.21. My oncologist says that's a good number. He checks my PSA every four months.

From the bottom of my heart I want to thank this women from this institute for this video because i'm at that gate with cancer and my urologist is pushing for surgery i'm not dumb I know I have options for a better future life.
@rolfeliason5950
I believe this is one of the most important videos I have watched. The jump to one stop, git-er-out-and-done surgery was a train I was on, using radiation as a backup. That is, until I started watching these videos explaining the aftermath of either choice. Knowing the probabilities of recurrence, incontinence and ED all need to be explored before taking the jump. Listening to an oncologist without an axe to grind for me is what makes this so credible. Thank you, PCRI for this kind of education.

I have just had radiotherapy and it has been a complete walk in the park-he is right

I have hi risk 4+4=8 all 12 point cores on biopsy. Removal is the path I am going. The robotics surgeon has performed over 3000 procedures with this method. I have researched and at 65 yo I am very uncomfortable with my cancerous prostate gland that is still contained. All scans shows bone, nodes and tissue clear ( per, mri and ct scans) Thanks for all you do for us and share. Grateful

This advice is the best argument for radiation. I want to keep my prostate if possible
@williamfeldner9356
I had Proton Radiation Therapy at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, 5 sessions in 1 1/2 weeks. 20 months later my PSA is now .47. I am very pleased with the results.
@billreilly5068
Watch all of your videos..Always excellent advice! Thank you!
@Cedrus1952
Thanks! I just completed 23 IMRT zaps with SpaceOar followed by two HDR Brachyboosts while on ADT for four months. I simultaneously went on a plant-based/vegan lifestyle. Finished in January and I feel great! I have my prostate and everything works. Today was my first day back at the gym. Working nautilus to build up my strength. I should have all my Testosterone back by July. Life is good!
@gavinfoster9118
Thanks so much again. Great advice from both of you! Melbourne Australia

Just talked with a Radiation Oncologist and he said what Dr. Scholz is saying. I am in the intermediate group, but need to do something as 11 out of 13 samples had cancer on biopsy. I thought surgery was what i was going to do, but am now thinking otherwise. I am 67 and in good shape. My insurance gives me the choice between the two. Retired in August and diagnosed via PSA in Dec. 2024. Thanks for helping with my decision.
@garycornwell6612
Thank you for this video.
@hafben876
I went for surgery to avoid 3 years of hormone therapy. In the UK, that is the deal in the NHS: if you opt for radiotherapy it comes with 3 years (no less) of hormone therapy. Please don't downplay the side effects of hormone therapy because that would be misleading. Otherwise I love these videos and thank you for all you're doing 🙏🏻
