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 ."

That is really helpful, thank you. A friend in the UK ( I am in France ) had HIFU recently and seems happy so far, not sure if it is available here yet. PSMA - Pet scans only available so far in major centres like Paris, Toulouse, Bordeaux. However am looking at SRBT as an option.

Many thanks,

David
