Hi folks,

Have updated my profile with events since diagnosis. Thought I would ask if anyone else is on a long Active Surveillance journey. Will be discussing with my Urologist tomorrow what the strategy should be for the future. Would hope to have another MRI for peace of mind (last one in August 24).

Best to All

  • Hello Nick ( 

    Well, you look an ideal candidate for Active Surveillance (I never thought I would say that as I don't believe in AS!!) and my thinking behind this is the low PSA figures throughout your journey so far.

    So a couple of questions tomorrow for me would be:

    * is it possible I am a "low secreter".

    * Yes another MRI would be a good idea (I think the NICE guidelines may overrule this request).

    NICE Guidelines - Prostate Cancer Treatment. (See 1.3.8 & 1.3.13 & 14).

    So good luck tomorrow - do let us know how you get on.

    Best wishes - Brian.
