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.
Since this is an International Forum, please specify your location in your post.
My advice is to seek advice from a prostate oncologist who is treatment method agnostic. My oncologist in in Southern California is adamant that seed radiation leads to better outcomes than surgery, bolstered by medical studies. Plus an oncologist may not even recommend surgery or radiation at this time. I'm not sure who's available in Florida, but it would be worth traveling to the right person. I moved to Southern California to be near the best care, but have family here also.
