Thanks again, I am coming to that view. Not sure my urologist will agree, but at this age, quality of life is important. For instance, as a musician I would find memory issues a bummer. Thanks again.

Not particularly relevant to the discussion, but what instrument and kind of music do you play? I play keyboards (not well) and have a great admiration for musicians who are better than me.

I am approachiing 85 . My recommendation would be to consider one of the Focal Therapies .
HIFU , NanoKnife which is exploding worldwide with great success ( slower in the USA ) TULSA PRO (invented at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto by Dr. Chopra ) Cryotherapy ( An associate had this treatment recently in Calgary , Alberta He was also a Gleason 4 + 3 = 7 age 75 . He is happy with the result )
My other option would be MONOTHERAPY SBRT - 5 sessions - Mon Tues Wed and Mon Wed the following week . Short recovery time , no anestetic , no catheter and importantly " NO ADT ."
