Good luck, stevesurf. Be sure to inquire about CyberKnife, DaVinci, and brachytherapy and try to get unbiased opinions from different doctors. (Understandably, a surgeon will not recommend radiation any more than a radiation oncologist will recommend surgery.)
My understanding of PSA readings is that velocity, or rate of change over time, is a more reliable marker than the absolute value.
