This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer. There are only four rules:
No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.

Re: Understandable Confusion in the Diagnosis Process
David,
Good to see that: you figured out early that surgery is a coin toss wrt side effects, and that you will be seeing Mark Emberton who will likely expand your range of treatment options.
I think that we all go into this wanting to come out cured, potent and continent. You may decide that you want to trade some amount of cure for a better chance of coming away with less (if any) side effects. What (if any) treatment you receive is up to you - you are the one who is going to live with the outcomes.
