Well this is a subject near and dear for me.
i have had a high/bouncing PSA since 2012. Three months before my surgery it peaked at over 10 with a negative biopsy.
my surgeon has repeatedly warned me not to have radiation should I ever get PCa. While it easy to talk on this side of the fence, I have a different perspective. Not only do I not want any surgery ever again, I will do almost anything to keep my pouch. I hated the loop and my life at the time and I never want to go back to an appliance.
i am in the camp of the least risk option. I already suffered complications from the first surgery that I have well documented here, and I just don’t have in me to get cut open again.
i am just one man’s opinion here, but I thought I would share.

so you did have cancer and had it removed?
