Good afternoon, my name is Craig and was told yesterday that I have prostate cancer. It’s early stages and it hasn’t spread, thankfully. I was given four options and ruled out two of them, first, doing nothing just monitoring and second hormone treatment and radiology. The options left are partial removal or full removal of the prostate and I just don’t know which one to go for. I’m worried about the side effects and was wondering if anyone would mind sharing their experiences. I’m in a bit of shock still and information overload. Thank you in advance.
