It is not an easy decision to take, myself and two of my brothers diagnosed at various dates throughout 2018, all have received their elected treatment.
From my own viewpoint I opted for surgery (Robotic), the decision has to be our own
! My wife is medically trained and whilst we discussed the options given she did not try to influence me at all.
I had pretty much made my mind up on being informed of where the consultants suggested my cancer was at, contained within the prostate and no signs of lymph or bone transfer. Given this and my engineering logic "Removal" was the chosen route.
My elder brother opted for Brachytherapy and my younger brother the same as myself. Each option has its Pro's and Con's, that is why it has to be our choice, what do you feel comfortable with and what don't you. I am sure that no matter which option you opt for it will be the RIGHT choice!
I have no regrets concerning my choice and recovery has gone well.
Be positive and remain strong👍👍
