Most guys I know that have had it, have had it removed. My older brother about 5 years ago had 40 radiation treatments. The radiation is painless, but it causes collateral damage - in his case, it was his bladder. Last year he had bouts of peeing blood which landed him in the hospital every time. Then other problems started. On 12/20, he passed away, but I can't say it was any way connected to the prostate cancer.

Ask your doctors what they would recommend. Maybe go to another urologist & get a second or third opinion. Remember, prostate cancer is very survivable if you get it early! Good luck!
