Hi, thank you for reaching out. I’ve been told my cancer is an ‘intermediate’ stage, Gleason 3+4, confirmed with an MRI-guided biopsy. My PSA has steadily risen over the last 8 years from around 5 to 14.5 most recently, with the velocity increasing.
I’ve been offered surgery, observation, and radiation as viable options. I am curious about other options like TULSA Pro, etc.,and have an appointment to discuss everything with my doctor in early June. I like the observation option for all the obvious reasons, but I don’t want to die from metastatic cancer. I honestly don’t know what to do. It’s a big decision, life changing, and I am alone with no one to help with the decision.
