In 2012, I was diagnosed with Gleason 7 prostate cancer and the doctors recommended “active observation”.

Over the years, the PSA value slowly deteriorated, while the size of the carcinoma remained constant. The doctors' recommendations ranged from "Keep watching! You are more likely to die with this carcinoma than from it“ to ”Operative removal of the prostate, the carcinoma can become aggressive at any time!" The development of the PSA values spoke against further observation, and the risk of incontinence and potency spoke against surgery. That's why I opted for Cyberknife treatment in Munich in 2020. I met a highly professional team around Dr. Muacevic and Dr. Haidenbeger in Munich in September 2020, the outpatient radiation sessions (duration per session 30 minutes) took place on 5 consecutive days and apart from a strong urge to urinate and weaker erectile function in the first few weeks, I didn't experience any side effects. Since then I have had no problems urinating or having intercourse. Today, 9 months after the Cyberknife treatment, the tumor is no longer detectable in the sonography and the PSA value has reduced to around 1.0. For me, CYBERKNIFE radiotherapy was absolutely the right answer to the choice between further uncertainty and the risks of surgery.
