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

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

Sorry, I forgot you had your decipher score listed. So many messages it’s hard to keep track with everything going on with so many people. Just make sure to get quarterly PSA tests. You know you have a chance to be on active surveillance for a while, but you want to make sure you’re covering all your bases. If the PSA starts to rise, maybe you should go on monthly tests.
It is possible you could go a year or two without doing anything, To have a chance at the longest life you want to get treatment as soon as your numbers rise significantly.
