@frank1956 I am sure that was spooky Halloween news for you. I am a UCLA patient as well (soon to be 74 yo) with similar Gleason scores (3+3 and low volume 3+4) on initial biopsy 10/2021. Low Oncotype scores and negative for BRCA mutations, I was recommended AS. After 4 years my PSA escalated and biopsy showed transition to Gleason 4+5 with unchanged MRI and PSMA PET Scan localized disease. AS allowed me 4 years without intervention, though with the changes this summer treatment clearly was necessary. I just completed high dose SBRT regiment at UCLA Radiation Oncology and started ADT (planned for 12-18 mos per RO). Good luck to you on your journey.
