There's no problem, Phillipa. These are all the right choices for you and your family. The guidelines would not suggest anything different for you, but they might suggest different approaches for older patients who have serious pre-existing conditions - that's all the guidelines are saying. Everything is not necessarily related to you.
An even better option for prostate cancer is IMRT or proton beam radiation. No erectile difficulties and higher cure rates. Men in my family have had each kind of radiation, with excellent results for both kinds.
