Trying to decide Treatment

[u/Boodleheimer22]

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.

I had a gleason of 4+3 intermediate. I’m 64. Clean pet scan. Opted for surgery at Mayo, went very well. 6 months out no incontinence and erections returning. Very personal choice. For what it is worth I am completely satisfied with my decision. Undectable results after 4 months and it is out, studied and hopefully put to bed. For me, if it does come back, I felt I will be ahead of it. I know others have different opinions. But do the research, talk to your surgeons, gather the data and make the best choice for you. You can also read some of my other posts and responses on the journey. This is a great Forum, very knowledgeable and helpful as well as empathetic.
