jc76,
Smart. You did your work... researched, evaluated and made a choice to treat. I think you did the right thing and can now only wish you the best success in your desire to cure this. Many no longer even to name Gleason 6 as "Cancer". I tend to agree but due to my high PSA, 10.5, figured I should treat now rather than wait. All treatments have some risk but Proyon Beam seems to be least likely to cause damage outside the prostate.
Best Wishes, Full Recovery!

Agree jb2buckwater, I was told by my urologist that I would not die from my prostrate cancer. I was a 3+4=7 but my Decipher showed low risk.

The biopsies are a more exact determination of cancer. Did you have biopsy? What was the findings?

My PSA was actually still in normal range but rising each time tested. Primary care doctor did not like so referred to urologist. I am glad I proceeded with treatment knowing even though my cancer was low risk I was taking the steps to cure it.

The watchful waiting may be okay for some but for me I want to address any cancer or even probable cancer and not let it grow.
Good luck, and thanks for feedback.
