Chemo is not a standard first-line treatment for people who have early stage prostate cancer. Surgery, radiation, or sometimes even active surveillance (no immediate treatment) are the options you and your cancer physicians (urologist, radiation oncologist, and medical oncologist) should discuss. Certainly you shouldn't embark on any one treatment until you have sought consultation with each of these physicians and understand the risks and benefits of each option.

With those Gleason and PSA results, you have a very good chance of cure with either a radical prostatectomy or radon seed placement. Chemotherapy is contraindicated.
