Thank you for your interesting reply and I will certainly keep those things in mind. Yes, I understand, for example, that a Gleason score of 6 is not really of concern and people with that score may go on active surveillance. I also understand your point about people on active surveillance getting complacent and not posting here anymore and that makes perfect sense although as you do suggest that might be a mistake for some people.
Even if I'm fortunate enough to be the so-called victim of a low-grade cancer where active surveillance might be an option I will make sure from now on in to monitor my PSA at least twice a year and consult if the PSA shows a rise which is deemed a concern. Unless mistaken, it seems that the PSA is the monitoring system which best suits patients to assess the progress of this disease - prostate cancer.
Thank you, Sir.
