I'm similar: 66 yo, PSA 11, Gleason 3+4, Decipher .74, 6 spots on gland, probable cancer in capsule, no cancer in seminal. Dr. recommending Proton therapy + Orgovyx. Problem is I feel fine. What happens if I do nothing and just continue active surveillance?

People can feel gine until one day they don’t and are diagnosed with metastatic disease and a PSA of 800.

That’s the $64000 question!! Nobody knows - but your higher Decipher score indicates a higher tendency to metastasize and the cancer already IN the capsule could soon get OUT and you could have a real problem to deal with….
