I had similar numbers to yours in 2016 and after much study, I chose surgery to remove the prostate at Mayo Scottsdale with the daVinci. It went well and the surgeons are great!. There's still a little residual pain, a little leakage on sneezing and ED issues but my PSA remains at zero and my sense of relief is still intense. Anytime you can cure cancer with surgery, you should do so. The alternatives have too many side effects and doing nothing is a big risk that you will progress past the point where surgery can help. Surgery also eliminates the problems related to the prostate and you will have a strong stream In future. Good luck with your decision. Let me know if you have any more questions.

That's what I'm thinking as well. My wife and kids also think I should get it taken care of. It is frwaking them out that I was told I should wait a bit.
