I basically agree however . There is a djffference between " Watchful Waiting " and " Active Surveillance " . The latter is a routine schedule of regular PSA tests ( Every 3 months initially , then 6 months ) , followed by an MRI at 12 to 18 months ( or less depending on your PSA results)
Then a followup Biopsy .

Agree.
I wish I heard those say "watchful waiting" were saying "active surveillance."
