Active Surveillance

How this treatment impacted my life the most

I have been on active surveillance for ten years with quarterly blood tests, a few MRI scans and three lots of biopsies. As a result of increased PSA levels I am due to a 4th biopsy under GA today!

If I had to do it all over again, would I choose the same treatment?

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

Because it has meant that for ten years I have not had treatment which may have affected my quality of life.
