I had a Gleason score of 3+4. After a few years of active surveillance I opted for a treatment David did not mention. You can Google SBRT radiation treatment. It's a short term, highly focused treatment that includes methods of protecting nearly organs from radiation.
I'm approaching the age where I should get this checked out, and when I finally get around to that physical (my wife is becoming increasingly insistent on that happen sooner rather than later), I'll know what questions to ask and which screening to inquire about.
Will be chipping in as soon as I sort out my tax situation, which should be soon.
Thank you for the public service you are doing.
