Patrick1935 Wed, 02 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT Peiple often do wait, it depends on the situation and  previous diagnosis: if it's low risk and the probability is that the PC is local, radiation alone could be successful.Local treatments like radiation alone are not appropriate in higher risk situations, where a sooner rather than later approach is usually more applicable.  Johnw100 Wed, 02 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT
