Hello Daz and welcome to the site.
You are referring to Active surveillance (monitoring) and as Paul says, if your head can cope with the knowledge that you have PC inside you, then it gives you time to seek out all your future options.
If you go to Publications on this site then you can download, or obtain a set of booklets/leaflets called The Toolkit.
They are very helpful in term of descriptions re: symptoms,treatments, emotions etc.
They can help you formulate a list of questions for when you see the consultant.
We usually advise people to take somebody with them to that meeting, as well as have a pen and paper for writing brief answers. There is often so much to take in that a second pair of ears is useful.
Of course you are finding it difficult to put this to the back of your mind, it's suddenly stark reality that you have this thing inside you.
You are,in fact, one of the lucky ones, just like my other half who was also able to go on Active Surveillance.
There are men on here with much much higher PSA and Gleasons scores than you, there are men who know there is no cure, but they ll get on with their lives and live with what fate has given them.
Try not to obsess too much (easier said than done - especially in the early stages) and try and avoid googling unless it's to research using "proper" sites like this or cancer research.
Do you have a partner at home to support you?
You've found your way here now so are part of our family.
Ask any questions you like, somebody is likely to know the answer.
Be assured that what you are feeling now is exactly what all of us have felt at some stage. You are not alone in this, we're here.
All the best
Sandra
