Hi Phil

I was on AS for 4 years from 2013.

It went ok but u just need to keep on top of things IE PSA every 3 months , u don't give any PSA figures?

Also MRI pref every year.

Keep your eye on tumour size in case getting near the the capsule edge which is what happened to me.

So my largest tumour went from. 3mm to about 13mm over the 4 years.

Treatment options are obviously always there so probably start thinking about if going for surgery or RT.

All the best

Steve
