[quote=Anonymous]This is a bit of a difficult spot to be in being as young as you are. Unfortunately, the medical science is not very good yet about being able to tell which prostate cancer will grow out of the prostate and cause an issue and which will not. Do you know your Gleason score? You may want to consider watchful waiting but that can be anxiety producing knowing you have some type of cancer. There are other options besides prostatectomy. You could look into cyber knife or brachytherapy. My understanding is that while these may have some side effects, they are generally less than prostatectomy. If you are local, Johns Hopkins has one of the best urology programs in the country and being T1 you certainly have time to go there and get a second opinion. If you choose to go there tell them when you see them you want options and plusses and minuses of each. Good luck. [/quote]
