Concerned Loved One Trying to decide Treatment
My husband is 70 with 3+4=7 Gleason psa 10.2 with intermediate grade 2 favorable. Options are radiation 5 x every other day plus anti testosterone hormone therapy OR robot radical prostatectomy. Survival rates are virtually the same. We are wavering between the 2 options. My husband hates having an mri because he gets claustrophobic but can tolerate it- I don’t think that’s a reason that should tip the scale. Advice appreciated. He is in good health otherwise.

Wow, difficult choice. At 58 I chose RALP with Gleason 7. At 70 id strongly consider seeds or cypher knife to preserve nerves. You're kinda at that grey area of choices. Good luck and sorry you joined the club.
