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

After my surgery, I learned that I had cancer in a lymph node. I chose active surveillance to avoid radiation and hormone shots.
I change my diet and adopted the Mediterranean Diet. Plus, I’ve had my PSA checked every three months. I’ve done this for three years now. I’m grateful my cancer has remained in remission. Good luck with active surveillance; there is hope!

I had a similar experience. I was told that the L4 on my spine probably had a metastasis on it. At that time I was going on Zytiga And for 2 1/2 years, it stopped that thing from growing at all. When I stopped Zytiga And moved on to Darolutamide I decided it was time to get the thing zapped. The radiation oncologist, of course agreed, And my oncologist also thought it was a good idea, though not essential. Had it zapped and since 2 months later I have gone on a 14 month undetectable streak.
Not Treating it at all wasn’t really a problem For me either. Over that time. I also changed my diet a lot.
