Treatment Options
Cancer treatment is a choreographed balance between the treatments being administered and the patient’s ability to tolerate resulting side effects.
Treatment decisions are hard to make by yourself. No written information can take the place of speaking directly with your doctor. It’s also important for your team to include family and friends. You’ll need the support; and involving them in the process will allow them to be helpful and put everyone more at ease.
My Take
Your treatment plan may include surgical removal, radiation, chemotherapy, hormonal manipulation or a combination of these techniques. Choosing the best treatment for localized prostate cancer is based on all aspects of your total picture.
