Here is a provocative podcast...RP vs RT...a 'comparison.' First up is RP and its bracing...but the RT RO's come right back and explain why the results of the RP study were what they were...all in all balanced debate. If I were going into treatment now I would want to play this thing about 10 times and listen very carefully...there are pros and cons to leading with each treatment for sure.

I had a RP first and my surgeon found upon surgical entry worst conditions than anticipated. Not leading with RT I could follow up my surgery with salvage, otherwise...dont know...its the toughest call any man has to make in his life...there are no absolute outcomes here...all we can do is be knowledgeable, weight the odds and make the call, then roll with the punches that may come...good luck to anyone getting started on this journey...TNX
