Hello everyone.
Aged 66, I have recently been diagnosed with early stage Prostate Cancer, T2a with a Gleason score of 3+4. I have been offered either surgery to remove or radiotherapy with hormone treatment. This is quite a dilemma. I met with the surgeon a couple of weeks ago and have an Oncology consultation tomorrow.
Has anyone on here had the option of either treatment and, if so, what influenced your decision?
Many thanks.
