Was diagnosed with p.c.about a month ago .was advised to go on Active surveillance
Had
a gleason score 3+3 my p.s.a 5.5 with a 1cm tumour
Since being diagnosed I am finding it difficult to think about anything else
Everyday wondering whether to stay on a.s or ask for treatment
Also does the anxiety ease the longer your on Active surveillance pr
Spoke to my consultant she was really reassuring said they would only have taken 3 cores but had 2 . 1 had very low volume Gleeson 6 Also said that with p.s.a going down the way it did ..they wouldn't expect to happen if any higher graded cancer. .And said we can discuss having another biopsy if I wanted to at our next meeting but felt if p.s.a stays stable and next m.r.I looked ok then should be fine
