58 White Diagnosed 6 months ago, 4 3=7, PSA: 7.2. Biopsy: 2/12 The Gland was measured by ultrasound at 60. My father was diagnosed had seeds implanted for PC also at age 58.

I have told no one. When I found out, my wife was transitioning to a new career, my kids had a couple of situations that required my full attention. I work in the public sector and honestly don’t want anyone knowing so I do not become the discussion of everyone in the school and community. This is something I need to deal with alone since me and my urologist and I decided to actively monitor.

My last PSA is now up to 8.5. I had an MRI the other day and am awaiting the results. I made the decision to just remove it. To me, it is the cleanest way to deal with this and move on. I’m trying my best to do it this summer when it is quiet and no one will miss me for two weeks.

In my mind, I want to wait until the PSA gets to 10.

Am I crazy to wait?

I very open minded and just looking for others opinions.

Please and Thank you!
