Decision time following decipher

low risk young man the gold standard is surgery ..find a surgeon that you can trust ..a major institution that has done well over 2500 of them ..younwill beat this .i personally know 5 older men that had surgery they are all cancer free many years later …thats the goal ..

Radical prostatectomy remains the gold-standard treatment for clinically localised prostate cancer. Look it up good luck u will do great.
but then again if your cancer is not aggressive 2% you say is 4+4 what is the rest of it gleason 3 so if 98% of it is 3 +3 radiation could take care of it but I would be concerned a three-point rise in six months is nothing to play around with mine went up three points and five years and I have aggressive cancer and in the last nine months it went up .5 Maybe these are some questions you should ask why would it be going up so fast if it wasn’t aggressive you don’t want to wait too long and have it leave the barn . Not to rile you up over 10 starts to get real concerning maybe go get another PSA test just to make sure maybe you got a false reading or something had made it gone up.just my opinion i’m sitting here on day three after salvage surgery wishing to God I took it out the first time, but that doesn’t mean that will be your case…take care we are here for you ..try not to get too confused .. others will chime in

Find yourself a Medical Oncologist who specializes in PCa. This professional is not predisposed to specific treatment therapy options (surgery or radiation), and this professional should be the head of your medical team throughout your PCa journey, and will help guide you in the decision-making processes. Keep in mind, though, these decisions are yours and yours alone to finally make.
