I had mine removed in 2018. It wasn't cancer, per se, but benign hyperplasia. The doc took 85% of it though, and did a transurethral procedure, no incision. I was back to normal in about 3-4 weeks, the postoperative catheter was the worst part.
I've seen the prostate seeding procedures for cancer and they brought tears to my eyes. Of course the patient is under anesthesia so it doesn't hurt, but boy howdy did it look like it would.
My Dad had the seeding thing done. He passed in 2010, so I don't get to ask him how well it worked now that I'm 66 & may be faced with this down the road.
I read a statistic that something like 60% of men have some sort of prostate cancer in their lifetime. Ouch!!!!
