Hi,
I was diagnosed with prostate ca 6 years ago. All my biopsies came back Gleason 6 so opted for active surveillance. MRI however showed pirads 5 which is considered highly indicative of a more aggressive cancer. Last year my biopsy showed cancer was invading my urethra in the prostate and opted for surgery. Right up until before my surgery the biopsy showed Gleason 6. The pathology of the prostate taken out turned out to be Gleason 7. Honestly active surveillance is risky. The only reason more men don’t die of prostate cancer is because its grows slowly.

I agree, if we knew better my husband would have Cryo or similar as soon as 3+3 was discovered. Our AS failed big time 🙁
