I had a very similar diagnosis in very similar circumstances. Young wife, active life. My consultant recommended surgery within 6 weeks. I disagreed, did my own research and put myself on active surveillance. Nearly 4 years in now, no progression so far. Not saying I won’t need treatment at some point but I’ve already had almost 4 great years of full function I would have lost.

My experience even led to me writing a book about called Manhandled and setting up a free resource for men on active surveillance that categorises all the interventions based on evidence. Happy to share more if helpful.

@paulsweeney Well, obviously it's of no help to me at this point, since I went through with the surgery, but others may benefit.
