The word active surveillance scares me. I was told when I found my prostate cancer I was good for 10 years before I had to worry about it. Three years later they went to my bones and metastasized. Now it’s in my ribs, my sternum, and my scapula and my back and shoulder lately, they would’ve taken the thing out or radiated it back in 2018 I wouldn’t be fighting this right now. Nobody told me you could go to your bones and do all that or I would’ve told him to take it out. Then one thing I learned from all this is get a second or third opinion , don’t wait for it to go to your bones because there’s no coming back from that. I’ve had radiation. I’ve had chemo and more radiation. It all could’ve been avoided. Good luck. My prayers are with you. Dave

All prostate cancers are different. And treatment does not guarantee cure as my cousin had his taken out five years ago and PSA went up to .5 and he just finished 39 external beam radiation treatments and doing ADT
