: HI,
I have a friend that works out at a local Gym And I followed him thru a prostate problem,
His Dr opted for the isotope therapy where they put radioactive needles in the tumor and let them burn out the cancer, He had very little down time, and has been Okay so far its been acouple years.
I am not sure what the defining decision point for Surgery versus the needle isotope, I would opt for the second procedure if I had to choose, because the more invasive procedure can disrupt tissue and very delicate nerves that play a major role in sexual function.
He says HE's as strong as ever with the ladies. not sure what that means.

PSPS Never have your PSA drawn the Day of the rectal exam because the digital manipulation of the prostate can raise the PSA for a couple days in the blood.
. DR's are very smart but often are rushed to complete task and forget minor details.... My Path DR at my JOB in the lab flipped out when the Dr ordered a PSA post rectal exam..DUH! He was corrected and now does it correctly, HEHE.
