Doctor pretty much gave me any option at this point. Been trying to do my due diligence, and narrow down choices. The area with a higher percentage of cancer and a few 4 cells , was my biggest concern. If not for that , I’d lean towards AS.
PSA and Decipher scores are at least encouraging.

@ferguto1, you might find this article from Mayo Clinic helpful:
- How to choose a treatment for prostate cancer https://www.mayoclinic.org/connected-care/how-to-choose-a-treatment-for-prostate-cancer/cpt-20538244
What's important to you matters in the decision-making process. I like how this article suggests lifestyle and personal preferences along with the data and info you get from your cancer specialists.
What helped you narrow your choices? Have you and your team decided on a treatment plan?

Have you tried going to a center of excellence to get a second opinion? At this point it sure seems like that is what you will need to make a decision.
