Thanks for the welcome Ben, I can't understand why my urologist says there is no need for any urgency for treatment at this stage, my thoughts are surely this is the objective of cancer screening and early diagnosis.ie catch the cancer early and treat it.
I would like to here from other people who have opted for this option .
