With a great surgeon, removing the prostate is an excellent option with no urinary nor ED problems. However, at his age, he has probably made the best decision.
All the options were considered before going with radiation—surgery, and chemo too. I did research on nutrition to help healing with prostate cancer and he is taking a number of targeted supplements. I think the vitamin C several times a day is helping keep him from much inflammation. Also Lycopene, Astaxantine, Boron, Vitamin D. In addition other supplements for heart and osteoporosis. He seems to be doing well and is in good cheer.
