Trying to decide treatment options and quality of life after

Prostate cancer is very slow growing. If you delay this two or three months, it probably won’t make any difference.

You don’t want to go too long a time before finding out what is really going on?

I am so very early as a participating "member" of this exceptional group of people, I have so little to share. I do understand your dilemma as to deciding what steps (treatments) to consider. I hesitate to confess this truth about myself, but I wasn't sure I wanted to even see a urologist after my initial elevated PSA (4.3) in May '25. It took two months to see a very respected urologist, and I kept the appointment. He wanted a repeat PSA/Free PSA and prostate specific MRI. I was planning on a big adventure through Southeast Asia in the Fall -- do not want my prostate interfering with my plans for living. I did have the MRI. I am scheduled to see the doc at the end of the month to go over the MRI ("suspicious spot" he said in an email). I am sure he will want to schedule a biopsy. Why wouldn't he? What about my exploration? I am not eager to have my life consumed by and with medical appointments, then treatments. I am tempted to postpone my follow up with him and go to Asia first.... This is tough and not what I expected as a newly retired guy ready to see and experience the world!
