Crap Shoot

My wonderful husband is recovering really well from his prostatectomy on May 31st. They removed some lymph nodes and tissue as the tumour was outside the capsule of the prostate.   The nodes and tissue came back clear, however the tumour was rated a 9 on the Gleason scale (aggressive) so they are recommending radiation treatment.  This is a big decision, kinda of a crap shoot, if no cancer cells moved outside the area then radiation would not be necessary, however the big question is what if they did?  Radiation has very damaging affects.   Steve will make a decision in the fall once everything has healed from the surgery.   Meantime he is doing great!
