Hello
I am in the process of deciding which way to treat my prostrate cancer. i have the chance of surgery, and hormone / radiotherapy, but i am confused as i thought the surgeon would have said which treatment is the best for me. i have a appointment with the oncologist in the next 3 weeks. is it better for it to be removed, i have been told both treatments have the same result ?
