Become an information hoarder. Read, read, read. CANCER (the word) scared the hell out of me. I was 46 when diagnosed. I DECIDED to have a radical removal. 12 yrs later, Still cancer free. Only you can decide what is right for you. There is life after removal. Mine was done via robotics. Functionality is not quite the same but good enough. 😀.
I got a second opinion and was told I had several options and a good candidate for cyber knife which apparently worked. My PSA dropped from a 6.9 to a point .5 . Although not perfect a half a point was great news. Know all your options.

Was told about upward trend was possible but not to worry. 😊
That's great!
