Surf, AS is watching the PSA multiple times a year, not every 5. At worst it's generally 6 months, and that's after 2 years of every 3 generally. Also, 4+7 isn't a legitimate Gleason, did you perhaps type that wrong? Not only is 11 not a valid number but usually the two numbers are one digit apart rather than four.
Penn said if I chose AS, then biopsy again in 6 months, then one year after that and then every two years after that if everything remained same. PSA every 3 months. DRE every year. I am still scared with that approach. The chances of me getting some sort of treatment is quite high within 2 to 5 years. Why not just get it done with now? Too many things going on in my mind. Waiting to see what Sloan will say. This group has been so much of help!
