I'm on the active surveillance decided to do that recently and I have more cores positive than you 3+4. Nothing found on MRI or psma scan phone scan or CAT scan. Personally no way would I have surgery with Gleason score of 6. But if you have incontinence and Ed already I guess it doesn't really matter I'm trying to avoid it myself since I do not have either problem at the moment. good luck on whatever decision you make

yes. maybe a hasty decision. My father passed from AS. He was also 87 with other issues. I just felt my mental state would not handle letting it get worse and then get to old to fix it. I am 72. I went with fact the Dr claimed surgical statistics were 85% of no issues. Well some has to make up the 15%. Lucky me. No regrets though. I have put cancer behind me , I hope.
