I’m currently on active surveillance. The details are in my profile with more information in my blog with the same title as this.
After initial worry of being diagnosed and spending hours on research about treatment and outcomes etc I became a strong believer in Active Surveillance if it is at all possible.
AS for me is a data driven strategy to reward patience with the gift of more time without treatment or their side effects.
So far my patience is being rewarded. Good luck to everyone on AS. Remember AS is an active choice, not a passive one.
i will keep updating this post as time passes .

Hi John
Always interesting for me hearing about experiences on a/s.
I’ve been on A/S for 4 years now with psa readings of between 6 and 10, but my last one was 10.6 and one before 11.3.
Consultant told me if two consecutive tests were over 10 I would need follow up so that’s where I’m at at the moment.
I Have annual mri in April so when consultant gets back to me I’m expecting for him to tell me to wait for mri results.
Im glad I chose a/s as given me 4 years of ad normal life as possible.
As with everything though its a personal choice as to what treatment to choose
Also see your latest psa has come down so that’s a good sign
All the best Roy
