With a great surgeon, you would have been better off having your prostate removed because you wouldn’t have any long-term urinary or ED problems to deal with; and never have to worry a out actually getting prostate cancer.
One of my brothers took that option because his biopsy showed cancer developing (his surgeon did it right, BTW). My urologist recommended a TURP since a biopsy was negative for cancer. So far so good, for maybe the next ten years or more, if no cancer begins of course. I’ll be getting a PSA test and exam soon as a six-month follow-up, don’t know about regular biopsies yet. My other brother gets an annual biopsy, says pretty soon his prostate will be removed by those alone.
