Active Surveillance video
Somebody posted the video about active surveillance being over treated. I’m wondering if somebody could post that link back here. I want to send it to somebody. I thought I have saved it and I can’t find it.

Jeff. Thanks so much for your comments. Was about to have SBRT but now considering AS.
Sent my samples out last week for decipher test. Also getting second opinion on slides.
Joined the Ancan AS group on Wednesday. Praying my decipher comes back low and can do the AS and avoid the side effects from surgery or radiation. Thanks again!!!

2 ReactionsIf I come across a video regarding “active surveillance being over-treated,” I’ll post it.
(I was initially diagnosed in April 2012 with low-grade, localized prostate cancer. I was on AS for about 9 years, using that time to learn more about prostate cancer, get referrals, evaluate all available treatment modalities, and take advantage of advanced in treatments, so that if/when the time came to make a treatment decision, I’d be fully informed and ready.)
