Thank you for your comment. No, he is not on any medication or treatment at all now. We are trying to decide if he should be and if so, what type of treatment.
His Gleason grade/score is 6 and slow rising PSA of 16.9. Tumor has not spread.
He is a healthy man and we are trying to weigh in the pros and cons of any treatment, but especially hormone therapy, as it comes with slew of side effects...
