I understand your frustration. At the time of diagnosis what were your PSA readings, your age and did you have any biopsies?

Thanks
At Diagnosis PSA 10.57 ng/mL; age 72 (4 years ago), biopsy 4 years ago. DRE: Negative. Urologist recommended Active Surveillance.

Current age 76, PSA below 3 ng/mL

Two treatment options: Radical Proctectomy ruled out (previous Heart Bypass surgery and age), Radiation. Immediate side effects, short term and long term both.
