Default Prostate Cancer

My father was just diagnosed with prostate cancer ☹️ He was told he can do radiation or surgery. I’m looking for pros and cons of each. Long and short term side effects. He was also diagnosed with melanoma a few years back. I’m wondering if that makes his chances of getting a 3rd or 4th type of cancer higher? Or is there any relevance? I also read that while rare, prostate cancer can metastasize and if so, bone is common. My grandfather passed from bone cancer. Does this increase my fathers chances? And finally, who is the best urologist and oncologist? I don’t think he wants to go anywhere local. Thank you gentlemen for any and all info!
