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

I'm surprised the doctor told you you could do active surveillance I had a lot of grief asking for active surveillance and mine is localized and it is not showing up on any psma scan.

They based active survalence on my node staying very small and very slight rise in psa up and down.we did discuss radiation after the next scan next months. If need be most likely will..I went 2 years undetectable after radiation. After prostatectomy 1 yr radiation after 2 yrs .came back psma showed one small spot tiny in the node..i think the time I had radiation my scan showed nothing also.but they usually target the bed area..my now is at the pelvic area locally. They said I was in no danger doing active survalence at the time..live day by day keeping our head up staying positive..good luck
