Active surveillance is a way of monitoring low grade prostate cancer rather than treating it straight away. You might hear it called watchful waiting. ... Many men on active surveillance won't need treatment in their lifetime. There's lots to discuss. What is "low grade" prostate cancer? What do you do with anxiety while waiting? How often do you do PSA's and MRI's and biopsies? What other kinds of diseases can kill you first? What is success, visa vie Active Surveillance? How do deal with "other people," who say, cut it out. When to pull the trigger and realize you need a more direct treatment?
