What's radical prostatectomy like for low-risk prostate cancer?

I was recently diagnosed with low-risk, localized prostate cancer. My doctor mentioned that radical prostatectomy is one of my treatment options - surgery to remove the entire prostate gland.

I'm trying to understand what this journey might look like and would love to hear from others who've been in a similar position with low-risk, localized prostate cancer. • If you chose radical prostatectomy, what was your experience like and what helped you through the process? • How did you decide between surgery, radiation, or active surveillance when you had multiple options?

What to do when PSA rises after prostate removal surgery?

I had my prostate removed in June of 2025. After an MRI showed cancer around the outside area. 7 years before I had a HOLEP procedure because of enlarged prostate and no cancer was found in the samples. Anyway after the MRI a PET scan with radio active shot showed cancer also. 16 biopsies through the parineum showed 13 with cancer with 5 Gleason 9. I decided to have the prostate removed and it was non nerve sparring with no margins. 3 months after .03 then at 6 months .09 then 9 months .23 I haven't had a conversation yet with my doctor, he will be talking to me in a few days. I am just wondering what others have done.

What's it like combining radiation with hormone therapy for prostate cancer?

I'm looking at three different treatment approaches that combine radiation with hormone-blocking medications for my prostate cancer. My doctor explained that one option uses standard hormone therapy (ADT) to lower testosterone levels, which may help the radiation work better. Another option adds abiraterone (Zytiga or Yonsa), a newer hormone-blocking medication that might provide additional benefits but is considered experimental in this setting and has more potential side effects. I'd love to hear from others who have faced similar treatment decisions and learn about your experiences. • If you've had radiation combined with hormone therapy, what was your day-to-day experience like? • For those who considered or used abiraterone with radiation, what factors helped you make your decision?
