You mentiponed otherwise healthy. A case could be made for removal.

I had mine removed twenty years ago at Johns Hopkins (non-robot). I was around 50. The cancer was still confined to the prostate. I am able to have sex, never had any leakage, and am cancer free.

I have a brother who is older and obese. He had seed implants and radiation several years back. PSA is still low.

And my younger brother just had his removed two months ago in Lafayette. He seems to be doing fine. This was a robot procedure.

Once a prostate is radiated, removal is not an option.

That’s (68) not very young for that score. FIL had same gleason and higher PSA. Lafayette urologist wanted to do SX. MDA said some radiation and surveillance. All has been perfect since.
