Hello all
I am a 44 year old who was diagnosed February 16th 2017, initially I was told I could have surgery or radiotherapy, they told me to let them know my choice 3 months later, when I returned, they said to me, "we are sorry, but given your age, we have decided to put you on active surveillance", a year and a half later, I reminded them that they had promised yearly biopsies, so reluctantly, they gave me my 2nd set of biopsies, the new biopsies showed a few extra cells, all what they say is quite a bit bigger than they would expect normal cells to be, let alone the cancerous cells and so reopened the 2 options for me, I return on February 7th to give my decision, a little assistance would be greatly appreciated, I lean towards the radiotherapy, because my dad is 1st in family to survive and that is the treatment that he had, but I am still open to surgery if proven to be more effective, though, all along I have said to them that surgery is a last resort for me, I also lean towards radiotherapy though, because for the whole time since diagnosis, they have appeared to be forcing me to go for surgery, only allowing me to speak to someone about radiotherapy after my 2nd biopsy results, anyone else on here who has had a similar experience, please assist with what you ended up having done and how it has helped you
Thanks for taking time to read this and thanks in advance for any help any of you can give me
