“He said it wouldn’t produce sexual side effects, just the inability to reproduce.”
That’s not what I’ve read and heard over the years. I don’t beieve it for a minute. I think this makes even less sense than removing breasts as a preventative measure. At least with breast removal you can still have sex.
About 5 Years ago my PSA started going up and it went to 6, a year after that it was 21 so I had a biopsy and 1/2 of my prostate was malignant and the other 1/2 was benign. I had 45 radiation treatments and on the 21st I have an appointment with my Oncologist, he told me on the last visit that he considers me cured, My PSA was <0.04 ng/mi last month when I went to the Urologist. In my case, what you have read and heard over the years is true.
