Very similar situation to mine, Reg, albeit over a longer period. . I was on AS for 4 years, initially G3+3, then a biopsy showed many more affected cells (up to 75% from 5%) and I was graded G3+4. I should say that the original biopsy was not so extensive. The urologist said, and I more or less quote, 'it seems like it is on the move and in cases like this we need to do something. If we continue with AS we will likely just be watching it progress until it is no longer contained and then it is a different ball game' . I opted for RP and the post op histology report showed that my tumour had already breached the prostate capsule but had not yet invaded the lymph glands or seminal vesicles. So for me, it turned out that the treatment was very timely.
