@ucfron Wing , need to be doing all the right things. With this lesion fairly tight to the exterior, I wouldn't delay a year or two. I would probably deal with this as soon as you can and after you've done your research. I ended up getting the operation at 57. The operation went well however the PSA did not bottom out . About two years ago I ended up getting salvage radiation at 0.14 PSA. My PSA hovers between 0.061 and about 0.035. These are very low numbers and they seem to hover around there. I feel good and I go hiking every day. Yes Vancouver island is a treasure. A lot of people don't realize it was its own colony and did not want to join up with British Columbia for the longest time. There is still rumours that the vote was rigged and Vancouver Island what's the town country. At that time under the watchful eye of Britain. Lots of resources on Vancouver Island. Where I go hiking I walk on cold beds of clean cool about half a kilometre thick. It pokes out of the Earth in certain spots. There are also some uranium sites and gold and rare earth metals. The wild rabbits are everywhere now and the dogs take off after them constantly. About five varieties of salmon are coming up stream now so the rivers and streams are full of them. Again the dogs are after those too . I reside here for half the year and normally have the year in Southeast Asia where I grew up as a foreigner kid. In the winter, I will go to Southeast Asia, however we don't get really harsh winters here on Vancouver island, on the East Coast we have a micro climate to keep things very warm because of the Japanese current. Also, the westerlies keep us quite warm as well . Little bit of Vanc Is stuff for ya ! 🙂 God Bless Sir and kept in the loop . yoru on the right track , keep close to Dr's advise . .
