Nuculeur infusion of heart.?

your dilemma is something modern medicine continues to struggle with even today.

prostate cancer is relatively slow growing so for someone elderly and with other coexisting medical problems (such as heart disease), it's more likely that the patient will die before he develops clinically significant symptoms from his prostate cancer. it sounds harsh, but why do major surgery (remember that a prostatectomy is fairly major surgery) when the patient will probably be dead in a few years anyway?

also keep in mind that prostatectomy is not without risks. some men would rather be dead than impotent, which is one potential risk of the surgery.

you're right that in the end stages, if the cancer metastasizes, it can be quite painful, but again, that's where you've got to play the odds. are you more likely to die of other causes before then anyway? if so, i agree with you- i wouldn't have the surgery.

btw- i think the heart condition you're referring to is atrial fibrillation, and the test you're getting is called a myocardial perfusion scan. and you're right- that test will determine if you have blockages in your coronary arteries or if you're at risk to have a heart attack.

Have you considered radium seed implantation into the prostate. If your cardiologist is concerned about the surgery there are radiation methods that can treat the prostate. Check with a radiation therapist/oncologist.
