I am 70. Run, bike and swim regularly and have for 45 years. Active surveillance since 2020. Gleeson 6, less than 15% in three cores. So, different on the scores. Had two biopsies with same doctor. Currently seeking another opinion from Mayo primarily for continued information gathering. Active lifestyle is significant component of my decision, but we're all trying to be smart and educated about it. I did not need to change much about diet to meet criteria often discussed that could theoretically help manage cancer growth---that's the good news. I guess the bad news is I've been eating this way my whole adult life and still have prostate cancer. PSA has remained 3.5 to 3.8 over the three years of AS. All in all I'm probably on the lucky side so far---and hope to stay there.

@rport3, I’m glad that you remain active and follow a healthy diet with active surveillance. I hear you about the “bad news” is that this is not a new lifestyle for you as physical activity and good eating are long engrained habits. While healthy habits reduce the risk of cancer, they don’t guarantee total prevention. I sure wish they did.

Your level of fitness and health will serve you well however should you need treatment in the future. Did you learn anything new with your second opinion?
