I've had it. Biopsy (not fun) took 12 tissue samples covering the entire prostate. Results showed it in only 1 area. My urologist, my wife and I went over all the options, pros/cons etc.
I settled on cryosurgery. If it's an option, it's much less damaging to the area. And much less side effects - impotentcy, bladder leakage, etc. In my case, I've had zero side effects.
Needles are used to freeze only the cancerous tissue, so the prostate is intact. 2 years later, I have my yearly blood work scheduled for later this month. Fingers crossed everything is good.
Just remember, prostate cancer in men is very common and very treatable. Best of luck, brother
* FYI I'll be 65 in December
