Which is the best treatment option?

[Guest guest]

I believe that what is becoming a concern to many of us is that too many others of us are touting "their" preference of treatment as the best of all the rest while denigrating all other treatment procedures, or, denigrating a procedure because, in their case, they experienced the downside of what can occur with most all procedures. We have all come to recognize that much of the "upside" of any procedure is in the experience and artistry of the physician provider. And we have also come to recognize that even that expert provider can run into problems once administering a procedure because of physical or other conditions within the patient not foreseen. And many of us have researched, studied, and subscribed to prostate cancer lists and other material for years and have learned of the "downsides" that have occurred with most all treatment options despite the best of intentions. All being considered, I would encourage those who post recommendations to tout their preference, but avoid denigrating any other choice. Let the patient sort out the various treatment recommendations and come to his own conclusions.
