To watch, or not to watch........?

[Guest guest]

Hi friends,

I just got a call from my Doc who told me that my last PSA dropped

down to 3.99 from its spike of 6.43 about a month ago, up from 4.3

from about a month before that. Despite my Gleason of (3+3)6 and some

MRI abnormalities, his advice is still wait and see. He would like to

redo the biopsy focusing on the abnormal MRI areas since my first 12

core biopsy 2 months ago showed less that 5% cancer.

My Doc (a surgeon) seems to want to wait and see if the problem is a

problem that requires a more aggresive approach. While I can see

rationale in this approach - I can't help but feel that I am just

delaying the inevitable; or am I just being trigger (knife) happy?

I would appreciate any and all feed back from those that have gone, or

are going through, or have thoughts on the " wait and see " approach.

Thanks, and I hope all recovered from ushering in the New Year :-)
