That's the $1M question. In your situation you could opt for "active surveillance," which means just keeping an eye on it with more frequent testing, but not taking any medical treatment that would temporarily (or even permanently) diminish your quality of life unless it starts showing signs of getting a lot worse (which might not happen for a long time, if ever).

What options did your doctor give you?
