I had a radical prostatectomy 10 years ago followed by radiation treatments. My PSA is now 11 and my urologist is suggesting the use of lupron. I am impotent and I am wondering if removing my testicles would be a better option than lupron. How do the side effects between the two treatments compare and are the life expectancies about the same.
