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

good. Thank you. mine was a gleason 6. 1 out 12 samples with cancer. clear margins. PSA was 1.1 or normal. Post op confirmed gleason 6 with clear margins. I did 3 month PSA's for 3 years and last 2 years every 6 months. All less than < .01. I had a PMSA scan done at 2 years. Nothing active. I admit I am not familiar with all the treatments and options available. Or all the abbreviations. I have both incontinence and ED. That has been my goal while on this site to understand where to go next. But those are a new thread. 🙂

Looks like you are doing everything to keep track. I think but not sure as not medical professional is that they don't give Gleason score below 6.
The only thing I could even further suggest is a second opinion to help you understand what to do next. Has your urologist explained and looked into your incontinence cause?
Trust me you are not alone. There are so many different treatment options out there. I have posted several times that I have been on MCC now for 2 years and have seen even in that time new and different treatments being offered and available.
