Hi Jimsy2005 and welcome to the forum, As your Gleason score is 6, which means your cancer is T1 or T1a and very slow growing and very low risk, you may never need any treatment. though that is a decision for you alone to take. Though i would say your PSA  at 10,5 should be discussed with your consultant when he phones you. I think current guidelines regarding a prostatectomy are 60 days from referral, Though if you want my opinion i would not be thinking of surgery as there is little if any benefit and the costs, "side effects", could be high. take care.

Hi, eddiel, thanks for replying. Spoke to Consultant today. PSA doubling time is 3 years, so agreed to further blood tests and an MRI around August. Was having a bit of a wobble this morning but your post helped! Thanks again and good luck

Hi Jim, happy to help, Would never tell someone what treatment to choose, but I'm glad you have held off on surgery, take care.
