Steve Lavin is weighing whether to have surgery or try radiation treatments for his prostate cancer, and he expects to make a decision and commence treatment within the first 10 days of October.

"After the most recent consultation, my doctors feel at this point that the active surveillance approach is off the table," Lavin said Saturday. "So that narrows the treatment options to surgery or radiation. The advantage of early detection is that we have these options that can assist in leading to a cancer-free life."
