Hi all, wishing you positive thoughts and Christmas cheer.
Been on 2ww pathway (see bio) for a few weeks. I have now received my results. PSA 13, PSAD 0.31, T2c, with high percentage of involvement. I was hoping going in that active surveillance would have been the primary option for me. This was met with a bit of resistance citing the PSA density, percentage involvement and size and location on the lesions seen on the MRI.
Now there is no rush, but I seem to have a decision re surgery or RT+ADT. From an outcome perspective they are similar, but there does seem to be differences in QoL. I think I would prefer to focus on quality of life now rather than what might happen in 10 years. So active surveillance is still in my options. I do still quite like the idea of waiting to see if the cancer gets more aggressive before treatment.
As the title states I would really like to get real life context of the impact of surgery or RT maybe a year or more after finishing the process. Regrets if any on the choices made.
