I was diagnosed with prostate cancer on 9 February 2012, with localized, low-grade disease. I chose active surveillance, giving me time to actively monitor the disease, while getting referrals to specialists in all treatment modalities, benefiting from advancements in treatments, and thoroughly evaluating all treatment options. Over 9 years later on 19 April 2021, I began 28 sessions of proton beam radiation (+SpaceOAR Vue + 6 months of Eligard). Today, almost 3 years post-treatment, numbers are still good. Depending on your diagnosis, time is on your side. Take the time to make the decision that’s best for you.
