54 here, five weeks post prostatectomy. Just take a breath, this will cause a lot of anxiety - it happened to me as well. Not a whole lot of us "kids" on here, but feel free to message me if you want to chat. In short, I came out unscathed for the most part, so there are success stories!

Gleason 6 is usually active surveillance territory, meaning no treatment needed as it's slow growing. You may consider a Decipher test to check if it's showing signs of being more aggressive or worse than G6.

Thank you kindly for your response. What were the levels for you to consider prostate removal? Also why that choice over radiation?
