Gleason 4+3 (80% Gleason in core), PSA 7.8, T2C, 59years old.

Evaluating the possible options for treatment including Cyberknife (SBRT), Brachytherapy1x+5 weekEBRT and still leaving DaVinci surgery on the table.

Where do I find some updated, objective and neutral information comparing all of the treatments along with side effects and their percentages? Specifically interested in mild and long term side effects in all treatments.

Take some time, ask numerous questions here…. On this site!! There is no chart and your Dr’s are likely not going to list the possible side effects of any of your options!! No body on this site knows why they don’t…. from what I have seen!!!!! I find that they range from mild to catastrophic!!!

Not what you're looking for?
