Did you choose active surveillance? Why was it a good choice?

Your MRI showed a single PIRAD 2 “tumor”. That is not considered cancer.

Your results are pretty good, but, as everyone mentioned, six out of 12, not great.

I don’t think you really need another biopsy, Though it may not hurt, If you did it, they should get other areas of your prostate to see what they show. Ask your doctor what he thinks.

Try to get a decipher score. That can tell you more than another biopsy about your future risks.

My decipher score is 0.41 I had that done already which I believe is low not super low but considered low that should make it even better correct? I have gotten doctors opinions actually three of them of course they all would rather do treatment but they seem to at least the last two I've been to agree that I could go on active surveillance. But they're saying I'll have to use treatment at some point. Thanks
