ranger44's numbers are much, much higher than yours and still ( I think) he is on active surveillance.
You had a single core of 3+3 and a PSA of 1.2, right?
You remind me a lot of a friend of mine who had RALP after a slight increase in his PSA (2.6 to 3.3 or something). Wonderful person but a total worrywart. Got lucky probably cos he was young @ 54 and is happy with his decision now but for me it was a really poor life decision. He too was 1 core @ Gleason 6.
You would serve this community greatly by letting others know that these kind of numbers do not normally need treatment and could lead to less than optimal outcomes that affect livelihoods for all involved.
This comment may be viewed as harsh by some but my goal is to be helpful.
