I agree, too, but it is an individual choice. I am 62, Gleason 3+3, and most recent PSA was 4.8. I had my biopsy (locally) back in February and my immediate reaction was to have surgery. I was referred to Mayo and, after Consulting with the doctor there I went down for a series of test, including an MRI. Based on those results, I am also in active surveillance. In addition, I found out my prostate is enlarged to the point of impeding, urine flow, so I am scheduled to have a HoLep procedure this month… there’s a book I found recommended here in the forums called Surviving Prostate Csncer I can’t recall the author’s name off the top of my head, but it was very informative!
Again, it is an individual choice. Take care.

Dr. Patrick Walsh is the author.

I also had a very large prostate, 120 grams before my 5 proton radiation treatment and I believe I am actually flowing better now than before the radiation.
