@carlwgordon yes. I have taken my share of questions concerning my decision. My father passed from PC. I caught mine only because I was having urgency to pee issues. I wanted it out. My father had done radiation and then had it come back 10 years later. My thought was lets beat this thing while I caught it early. I had no other initial testing except the biopsy. Medicare paid for it. Post op confirmed one lesion gleason 6 3+3. No other treatments. 6 years of < .01 PSA from sonora quest. I have an annoying drip. (incontinent) and trimix 5 units gives me about 2 hours. (ED) Ideal - not at all. Cancer free - maybe. My thought of the original question of AS from ozelli was doing nothing. I think handera response to AS is quite well thought out. I guess I could say most of us even after treatment are on AS.

which show the results are attached.

I'm not sure your age but 74 years old. I just thought if you had a 1 it
seems not be suspicious. I guess you never know . Anyhow thanks your and
