It definitely sounds like you are a case for active surveillance. Did you see the videos that were posted from the doctors that discuss if active surveillance is right?

Have you had an MRI of your prostate? An MRI guided biopsy assures that the spots that showed up as possibly cancerous are the spots that the samples are taken from. They only get one percent of the prostate when they do a biopsy so they can miss a lot.

Would you consider getting an expert to review your biopsy samples?. It might cost $500.

Had an MRI and followed with MRI-guided biopsy. I'm fortunate to be dealing with a university medical complex and NCI center of excellence, so I'm comfortable with the biopsy review.
Thanks for your response, Jeff.
