I had my RP in 1990 and I thank God that I am still around and even though my PSA is again on the rise, I am 79 and still in good health, with no symptoms.
Sex is a big part of most peoples lives, and changing your outlook on it is difficult, but manageable. These things would be different, or vary for each individual.
Best wishes and a MERRY CHRISTMAS to all.

I did read your first reply and I replied to it, but maybe it was removed before you was my reply.
Thanks again for your input, and I will weigh it with any other input I get.
I know I am not really rushed to reach a decision on this, but I do want to make a proper decision, (if possible), on this.

Sorry this is a reposting I put on a couple days ago, but I needed to revise it.
I was Dxed with PC 1990, with RP in June of 90
My Gleason score in 1990 was listed as 2+3=5 with extensive perineural invasion. Also listed as stage C, T3
I was tracked by a oncologist for 10 years with PSA still undetectable.
On the 12th year my PSA test was 0.1, PSA gradually elevated to at the 15th year check it was 0.6.
I checked back with my surgeon, who sent me back to my oncologist. At this time I was told I should have salvage radiation treatment.
42 salvage radiation treatments on trillogy machine at OSF St. Francis Medical Center 10-19-05 to 12-13-05..
PSA dropped to 0.1 after treatment, but now is up to a 2.9 as checked 11-8-11.
I went to see my oncologist Wed 11-15-11. and he wanted me to continue to wait and watch. I have also been advised that maybe I should be on a hormone therapy.
I have decided to look for a second opinion from another oncologist some place else.
I am looking for information on what course of treatment I should be looking for.
As of last year, no metastasis could be found. I am a 78 year old, and except for the PC, I feel that I am in very good health. .
Thanks for any suggestions anyone medical, or personal experience has to offer.
