The family history is scary but his Gleason is low thankfully. I'm no doctor but checking the PSA every 3 months seems reasonable. My friend who had surgery is getting his PSA checked monthly after the surgery. I'm having mine checked every 3 months after surgery which is standard i believe.

I’m having my PSA checked every three months as a follow up to my surgery. I’m doing this for two years. I think it’s reasonable for you to wait and get your PSA checked every three months and hold off on any treatment. There isn’t a free lunch with the treatments.
