No mentioon anywhere about a 2nd or 3rd opinion of your biopsy pathology results .
I am on Active Surveillance -- Year over year MRI showed no growth change . My Bone & CT Scan were clear . I have a PSA Test every 3 months for the 1st 12 months , then every 6 months .
I am considering as my eventual options : # 1 Focal Therapy , NanoKnife which is gaining international success ( slower acceptance in thhe USA , as with many international treatments )
HIFU , Cryotherapy or TULSA PRO which was invented by Dr. Chopra at the Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto , or others e.g. Immunotherapy . There are others .
Considering Radiation , I hope to avoid like the plague , ADTT 9 Hormone Therapy and it's side effects , both short term and long term . I am lookiing at the 5 Session Mon, Wed Fri and Mon Wed the following week . SBRT MONOTHERAPY . No hospital stay , no catheter , no anestetiic , Very low risk of incontinence or erectile disfunction . This is the current " International GO TO Treatment for your situation .
I would not make a knee jerk decision and go off AS at this juncture .
