I'm not suggesting conventional or non conventional but would like to share my brother's experience. His PSA was high for many years, 24, normal is around 2. He kept telling me for years that the majority of people with high PSA don't need surgery, that even with cancer, the progression is slow for most men and means nothing. One day he calls me and said that the doctor insisted on a biopsy and they found that the prostate was cancerous and was on the verge of metastasizing, cancer cells passing beyond the walls of the prostate into the blood stream. IOW, he caught it just in time. He found a guy in Southern California who had performed thousands of robotic procedures just as you described and had it done. His surgery was successful. His life was saved. Robotics according to him, is the way to go. It can decrease the side effect of loosing ability to control urination. This sometimes happens after prostate surgery. You're supposed to exercise this muscle after surgery. My brother is now in great shape and is happy he did it.
