Hi, I am 68 years old. A few months ago and my last psa was 4.7. The mri showed a small area which led to a biopsy and my readings above. I am now struggling to understand what to do next, the recommendations are surgery or radiography, the side affects look to be potentially awful. There is also a chance I can go on active surveillance.. Does anyone know whether the radiation dose is less at this stage than if it were to leave it and let it develop or not to stage 3 and thus the side affects may be less. I can’t seem to find this out, I am seeing my own doctor this week so anything you can help me/guide me would help me make a decision. Would the radiographer target in on the small area and would my does be small such that the risk of side effects are reduced because if so it would make my decision making quite a bit easier Thank you
