RALP or SBRT for a 51 year old?

@jc76 my Dr said since I was a G6 a PSMA was not warranted. I have not done a decipher test just a prolaris which was favorable, had me at 1%. I know I’m not a candidate for AS, personally, meaning I don’t want to play the wait and see game, I worry about enough as is. So I’m going to pursue treatment sooner than later. I really just don’t want to be incontinent at 51. I suppose it’s better than really sick…

You are very young compared to most of us. I was 76 when I was diagnosed and I am 79 this year.
What your doctor told you is what most doctors say with a 3+3=6. It is the lowest Gleason Score that will be given. Basically and not coming a medical expert just from my experience not much differences in cells.
I know if I was 52 when started having this I would have been probably in same frame of mind like you. What was your PSA number?
What is the prolaris test? I am not familiar with that. I would be really adamant with your doctors in what is important to you as only you not us can determine your course of action depending not only on physical health but your mental health.
What ever you choose to do I wish you the best. If you are still in doubt of what to do I would consider a second opinion to help you decide. When was your biopsy done. How long has it been since you got the 3+3=6?
