I had mine removed in 2014, family history of prostate cancer and was advised that if I had radiation first, I wouldn't be able to have surgery...but if I had the surgery, I could have radiation if necessary...
it was a rough operation as I was under for about 8 hours due to the size of my prostate...
recovery took about a year to return to something resembling normal...

My urologist and radiologist both told me the same thing : if you have radiation first, surgery is not a safe second option if cancer returns. The detailed explanation above matches what I was told, too. If you have surgery first, then radiation is an option.
