Than you Ben, my urologist suggested to wait another three months and do another PSA test , he also send me to an oncologist for his opinion too the oncologist suggestion was do radiotherapy instead of removal , I mentioned to him that I read an article online in which it was explaining IF you do radiations then later on you can’t do the surgery to remove the prostate!!, he disagreed to that and told me to go on live your life and don’t worry much but just keep checking and go back to him and my urologist every three months to see how’s it going .
I’m 64 and in pretty good shape other than diabetes which I’m taking pills for it .
Thanks again for your time .
🙏🏼

fredz:
PSA 10 is the border between Gleason 6 Low Risk and Gleason 6 Intermediate Risk. Worth being concerned, but not panic. It would appear that a rational decision on your part could be any one of the available treatments or Active Surveillance. I am in same boat, PSA 12 in 8/22, 105. 9/22, 8.7 12/22. Why is it going down, who knows! Regardless, chose Proton Beam Radiation, but rational choices also included Radical Prostectomy, Photon SBRT, Seeds, Active Surveillance. Hard choice, and nobody can make it other than you.
Best wishes,
