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

The 1st thing I suggest , Get a 2nd or 3rd opinion of your biopsy results Confirm you have Gleason 3 + 4 = 7
Active surveillance MAY bbe a good option with regular PSA ( EVERY 3 MONTHS ) FOR THE 1ST YEAR . Followed by a followup MRI to determine any growth of the liason .

I have a question about active surveillance. I was given that option. But as jeffmarc has pointed out my 3+3 gleason 6 should be AS. But why would you wait on a 3+4. What are we waiting on. To get worse? Reduce the inevitable side effects? Would there be any likelihood its not going to get worse.
