@ppettis, do you know more about the stage of your prostate cancer? What treatment options are you considering?

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.
