When I asked about the radical prostatectomy prognosis it was explained to me that it was the best option to remove the cancer completely. The downside would be probable loss of sexual function. At 60 I decided longevity of life was more important so I opted for a radical prostatectomy. At 78 I'm glad I chose that option.
After the radical prostatectomy full recovery period of 12 months and I was able to return to normal activities. The loss of sexual activity seemed less important.
Yes
At 60 longevity was important, sexual activity less so.
