Ask about the cancer’s stage and grade (Gleason score), whether imaging is needed (did you get the MRI, biopsy, PMSA PET Scan, DEXA Scan, etc), all appropriate treatment options (including active surveillance) and their side effects, the goals of each option, and what to expect short- and long-term.

Be his advocate!
What are the most important prostate cancer treatment questions?
Focus on: recommended treatment and why, success rates for his specific risk level, side effects (urinary, bowel, sexual, fatigue, emotional), recovery timeline, follow-up plan (PSA testing), second-opinion options, and what happens if the treatment doesn’t work (what's Plan B).
