Hi everyone, 12 months since my diagnosis and my psa has risen from 5.4-9.4 but mri shows no sign of cancer spreading, is exactly the same as 12 months ago, consigned to one quarter of my prostate. New surgeon now is pushing for surgery as best move forward and I'm thinking of keeping on active surveillance, I'm only 54 and scared of the after effects not the actual surgery, for example leakage and erectile disfunction..... Am I being st to put off surgery and see how I progress??
