@handera Thanks for the read and reply. In my unfortunately long-winded written offering, I was merely trying to say that it is naive to go with AS because you have a 3+3=6 or a 3+4=7 thinking you are low risk, when in fact...at that very moment - like me as a 3+4=7 - my cancer was far more aggressive than the 3+4=7 would have suggested. And, I would have never known it as it progressed during a 2-year AS, unless I had had the Radical Prostatectomy (RP) that showed I definitely needed to have that RP when I did..."immediately."

@rlpostrp

If you don’t mind me asking did you receive a Decipher score after your 3+4 diagnosis?

Also, what was your PSA density and did you see a high PSA velocity prior to your RP?
