You’re doing the right thing with considering active surveillance. Here is additional information that will help guide your decisions:

> How old are you?
> What is your history of PSA results?
> What was your PSA Doubling Time?
> What was your PSA Velocity?
> What was your PSA Density?
> Ask the doctor for a genetic (germline) test.
> Ask the doctor for a biomarker (genomic) test.

I was on “active surveillance” for 9 years (2012-2021) before eventually deciding on active treatment.

Keep tracking it; you’ll do fine.

Thanks. would you mind sharing what Gleason and PSA you started with and what after 9 years changed that caused the treatment decision.
