These are my psa results since Sept 2020 currently on active surveillance a bit up and down only 1mri for biopsy diagnosis gleason 6 12 cores 2 positive for gleason 6,. Diagnosis sept 2020,Every time I get a psa result my CNS always asks me my thoughts on treatment (surgery) feel pressured I have told her since day 1 no treatment ..... I was 44 years old at diagnosis..  now my anxiety at every test is exasperating,  no family history of any cancers, I am a great believer education. Instead of treatment men in my position surely should be educated in low grade cancers. I think it's about time after extensive research about my cancer we should be offered education first treatment for this low grade cancer ,treament should surely  only be offered if quality of life is affected or disease progression especially at a young age the implications of treatment for young men is life changing? Should I ask for another mri since only had 1 mri whilst on active surveillance 2021 it's been almost 4 years .?????. I hope I do not come across angry just a bit confused...

  • Hi Bassmaster and I understand what U are saying, I always felt I was being pushed into treatment 

    I reckon the most important thing here is what does MRI show in terms of tumour size and location in the gland

    When was your last MRI and how did it compare with the previous one

    Sorry just seen your last MRI 2021, Def U need to ask for one now otherwise you don't know what's going on.
