How do you get a =7 from 3+3?

Active surveillance has to be a personal decision based on your basis for quality of life and what you want to go through for your life not others.

For me doing active surveillance and a diagnosis of prostate cancer was not an option. I wanted to treat the cancer and work to cure it not being mentally capable of not treating it. I was one of those told "you will not die of this prostate cancer" by my Mayo urologist. Just not for me personally. But many others do not want (at the time they make decision) RP, radiation, hormones, or other treatments, and for them active surviellance is their choice and it is a personal one to make.

We are all different. Many many treatments out there these days even new ones I am seeing since coming on MCC two years ago. I just read in a Mayo newsletter I get about a new treatment of attacking only the cancer cells only and not the normal cells by special program of stem cells or proteins that attach to cancer cells (don't have the article any more so hope I am close to what was stated). It is in clinical trial but sounds really promosing.
