Hi everybody. My first ever psa at the age of 45 of about 3 and increasing, revealed that st was going on. After almost 2 years I had an mri and biopshy. Pirads 4, 3+4 gleason. 3/23 cores positive. Pattern 4 less than 10% out of all positive samples. Tumor of 10mm. Prostate of only 11cc. Two years now I am under AS but doubling time of 5,5 at the time of biopshy, is now less than two years. ie In 22 months later it went up to 11,5. Tumor 13,5 mm now...I have to make decisions and may be a new biopshy of course. Dont know yet if I am a good candidate for ire. I am only 49 years old and very sceptical about risks of every method. Have you tried ire? What were the outcomes for you in 5 years?? Have not the courage yet to do da vinci...
Thank you. Good luck to all
