What Is Most Preferable A Surgery Or A Radiation For Prostate Cancer?
My husband has just been diagnosed with prostate cancer - Gleason score of 8. The urologist is recommending a bone scan to see if it has spread. Then surgery or radiation. we would like to get a second opinion on the treatment and want to find a surgeon who practices at a good hospital and is a specialist in doing this kind of surgery. We have excellent insurance. My husband's name is Dan Jurenka and I am his wife Christine. We live in Long Beach CA.
