My Gleason score is 7 - 3+4. How long can I live without treatment?

PC discovered 01/2023 (poke and hope biopsy)- 3+3=6 (surveilance). 03/2024 - second poke and hope biopsy (result - benign), weird. PSA's kept rising into the 10's and 11's. 12/2024 - 3rd biopsy, URONAV 3D MRI guided biopsy, 4+3=7 2 cores TC1, Pirades 4 - result. PET Scan - localized. Still deciding on best treatment. So far, RP (DaVinci) has been scheduled but also looking at beam radiation. Age 68 1/2. The worry and a big one is RP after RT and then what - more sufferage! My thinking is RP then RT if needed. Thats what I have been discovering from endless reads and study. Currently on Casodex to contain flares.

Have you spoken with a Radiation Oncologist? My Gleason was 3+4. Had 5 sessions of SBRT. It also depends on whether or not the cancer is contained only in the prostate. It doesn't sound like there is any rush. You may want to do genomic testing as well, if you haven't.
